99417-8

LOINC code 99417-8 identifies "Shared decision making panel [R-Outcomes]". The shared decision making (SDM) panel captures patients' involvement in clinical decisions and understanding of the options, benefits, and risks of each. Each level is indicated using a traffic-light metaphor with written labels, color, position and emojis. For individuals, each item response level is scored on a 0-3 ordinal scale, with strongly agree = 3, agree = 2, neutral = 1, and disagree = 0. A summary score is calculated by adding the item scores for each item and giving a scale from 0 to 12. A summary score is not calculated if any item scores are missing. For cohorts, mean scores are shown on a 0 to 100 scale. Item scores are multiplied by 100 and divided by 3; summary scores are multiplied by 100 and divided by 12. Mean scores are usually rounded to the nearest whole number. [PMID: 32198234] [PMID: 31259277].
