Below is a summary of an article that will interest health care professionals, and should also be useful to those contemplating medical decisions of their own or those of their loved ones. The principles discussed will be familiar to doctors, but haven't yet received widespread institutional adoption. Nothing new for pioneers.

Shared Decision Making and Role Clarification Potentials in Medicine
by Jerry Green https://www.mediate.com/articles/greenJ3.cfm?nl=157
Decision making patterns are studied according to four models that distinguish shared decisionmaking from informed consent. Principles of collaborative planning for varying decisionmaking according to the kinds of decisions and the values and preferences of patients and physicians are defined and discussed. The values and risks of allocating responsibility by express agreement are compared with situations in which assumptions about decisionmaking responsibility may be implied from circumstances or accustomed practice.
