Patient Roadmaps for Chronic Illness: Introducing a New Approach for Fostering Patient-Centered Care

Background. Too frequently, patients with chronic illnesses are surprised by disease-related changes and are unprepared to make decisions based on their values. Many patients are not activated and do not see a role for themselves in decision making, which is a key barrier to shared decision making a...
