This report, a collaborative project with the Foundation for Informed Medical Decision Making, looks at the variation in surgical rates in 306 hospital referral regions across the United States (a hospital referral region is a large health care market containing at least one referral hospital). This report is divided into three parts. The first section, "The Importance of Choice in Health Care," explains the concept of shared decision-making, a process that helps patients understand their choices fully and allows them to share treatment decisions with their clinicians. The second section, "Variation in Preference-Sensitive Care," briefly describes the treatment choices facing patients with eight different conditions, all of which can--but do not have to be--treated with surgery. The last section, "Ensuring Patients Get the Care They Need and Want," discusses steps patients can take to make sure they get the care they want and need. It also discusses how physicians and other clinicians can support shared decision-making to ensure that patients make fully informed choices. When done right, shared decision-making results in a better decision: a personalized choice based on the best scientific evidence and the patient's own values.

L'alliance thérapeutique désigne le processus interactionnel qui lie patient et thérapeute autour de la finalité et du déroulement de la thérapie. Souvent synonyme de relation thérapeutique, il croise aussi les concepts d'empathie, de relation d'aide et de transfert. Cet ouvrage propose un inventaire critique complet enrichi par la clinique de ce concept central de la psychothérapie.

Leaving the hospital sounds simple. But all too often, patients find themselves back in a hospital bed--or even the emergency room--within a matter of weeks of going home. Many of these return visits could be avoided if doctors and nurses coordinated patients' care better and if patients, their caregivers and hospital staff did a better job of planning for the day the patient leaves. This article will help you LOOK at the care you get and understand what good care for patients who are leaving the hospital looks like, help you LEARN what you can do to make sure you get the best possible care, and help you LIVE better by taking action to get better care.
