We used these results to compile a list of 28 key concepts relevant to interprofessionalism or SDM for participants to use as building blocks for the consensus- building exercise. Proposed integrated IP-SDM model Individual (micro) level The proposed model has three levels: an individual (micro) level and two healthcare system (meso and macro) levels. Figure 2 is a schematic representation of the individual level section of the model. The ﬁgure is organised in columns and Figure 1. Model development process. rows. The rows represent the patient’s experience as she/he moves through the various steps of SDM. The columns represents individuals who may be involved in SDM with the patient, including: a ﬁrst contact person (e.g. a family physician or a nurse practitioner); a decision-coach (i.e. a health professional who is trained to support the patient’s involvement in healthcare decision-making but who does not make the decision for the patient) (Stacey et al., 2008); a member of the family or a signiﬁcant other; and various other health professionals that may be encountered by the patient during the decision-making process. For an interprofessional approach to SDM, the model assumes that at least two healthcare professionals from different professions collaborate to achieve SDM with the patient, either concurrently or sequentially. The dotted lines that run through the cells for each of the individuals involved in SDM indicate the need to establish a common understanding at each step of the decision- making process (i.e. from deliberation to choice). They also reﬂect individuals’ varying inﬂuence or input at different steps of the decision-making process. These dotted lines indicate an opportunity for further research, to learn about how interprofessional teams collaborate to achieve SDM and what relationships are essential for IP- SDM processes. Step 1. This corresponds to the points ‘‘patient with a health condition’’ and ‘‘equipoise’’ in the model shown in Figure 2. At the beginning of the IP-SDM process, the patient presents a health problem that requires a decision. ‘‘Equipoise’’ refers to a situation where a decision point with more than one option (including the option to maintain the status quo) exists and for which potential beneﬁts and harms should be Figure 2.
