COVID-19 Vaccine Options
The COVID-19 vaccines are new and understandably patients are going to have questions. The team at EBSCO Clinical Decisions has created an evidence-based Option Grid patient decision aid (available in English and Spanish) to help you and your patients weigh the risk and benefits of the vaccine and make the best decision for their unique situation.
Early-Stage Breast Cancer Treatment Options
While breast cancer incidence rates have been slowly rising since the mid-2000s, the mortality rate has slowed recently. This evidence-based Option Grid patient decision aid was developed by the team at EBSCO Clinical Decisions. It was made to help people with early-stage breast cancer who are considering lumpectomy with radiation or mastectomy answer questions they may have about their options.
Help Patients Take an Active Role in Their Health Care
My Health Decisions content covers a variety of specialties and is designed to be easily digestible for patients. Developed by a team of clinical experts, using the most current evidence, the Option Grid patient decision aids found in My Health Decisions are focused on the questions patients most frequently ask when they need to make preference-sensitive decisions. The tools can be quickly shared via link or PDF pre-visit so the patient can arrive prepared. My Health Decisions helps patients take an active and engaged role in their health care decision making by encouraging them to explore what matters most to them and select the option that best matches their values, needs and preferences.
Enable Health Care Providers and Patients to Have Meaningful Conversations
The tools and topics found in My Health Decisions are carefully curated by clinical experts, evidence-based and continually updated. This gives clinicians peace of mind that the information they are using to engage in shared decision-making is based on current best practice. In addition, the Option Grid patient decision aids found in My Health Decisions allow providers to easily uncover patients’ values, concerns and unique preferences to ensure the treatment chosen is the best fit for each patient.
Support Meaningful Member Engagement with Evidence-Based Decision Aids
Research shows that shared decision-making and the use of patient decision aids result in more conservative decisions, improved patient adherence and reduced costs. Integrating My Health Decisions' Option Grid patient decision aids into health plan platforms enables bringing evidence-based care to members and driving patient engagement and satisfaction.

Attract More Patients and Providers to Your Health System
My Health Decisions helps health systems meet regulatory requirements, increase patient engagement and compliance and reduce risk of litigation. Satisfied patients and providers attract more patients and providers leading to better financial performance for the institution. Also, institutions often create their own shared decision-making tools, but upkeep can be onerous. My Health Decisions does the work for you.
Selected Option Grid Patient Decision Aid Tools Are Certified by the Washington State Health Care Authority
