Learning Objectives

  1. Incorporate patient priorities—health outcome goals and healthcare preferences—into clinical decision-making about continuing current treatments or starting new treatments.
  2. Incorporate overall health trajectory and prognosis into discussions with patients to inform potential care options.
  3. Describe the key tradeoffs of short-term burden versus long-term potential benefit and incorporate these tradeoffs into clinical decision-making.
  4. Discuss and implement strategies to reduce complexity of care and minimize treatment burden without compromising patient priorities and health outcomes.
