Description:
As part of its ongoing effort to promote recovery and consumer choice, SAMHSA will host this final in a series of three Webinars designed to introduce and explore the principles and practice of shared decision making in mental health.
The first Webinar provided an introduction to the concept of shared decision making in mental health and provided a preview of SAMHSA’s shared decision making tools currently in development. The second Webinar shared consumer perspectives and experiences with shared decision making tools and practice. An archive of all shared decision making Webinars is available on SAMHSA’s shared decision making website: http://mentalhealth.samhsa.gov/consumersurvivor/shared.asp.
Presenters for this Webinar will focus on introducing shared decision making within an organization to include information on implementation issues and practical tips for overcoming them. Presenters will also discuss implications on practice. At the end of the presentations, there will be time for questions and discussion. Specifically, the four presentations will cover the following topics:
• Pat Deegan will talk about how shared decision making tools engineer the clinical encounter and how the practice helps close the gap between values and practice. She will also provide findings from recent studies on CommonGround, a shared decision making software program she developed.
• Michael Leeson will talk about the experience of using shared decision making over time such as the change in information exchanged between consumer and provider; and the organizational challenges involved with implementation.
• Emily Woltmann will discuss the process of engaging clinicians in shared decision making and assuring that technology supports, rather than hinders, the clinical encounter. She will also present data from a clinical trial that evaluated an electronic decision support system for person-centered planning.
• Robert Johnson will discuss the process used in a traditional mental health agency to explore the question: Should We Introduce Shared Decision Making in Our Agency? He will present factors, barriers, and strategies that emerged during the process.

Dr. Woltmann received her Ph.D. in Health Policy and Clinical Practice from Dartmouth College in 2009. While at Dartmouth, she participated in the evaluation of a 53-site project to implement five evidence-based practices in community mental health settings. She primarily focused on the role of staffing stability in mental health teams implementing evidence-based practices with high fidelity. Her thesis built upon knowledge gained in this demonstration project to design and test an electronic decision support system to support both consumer and care managers in making quality of life decisions that are concordant with the wishes of consumers. The system was designed to ultimately support shared decision making and actualization of consumer desires for both mental health services and outcomes.
