Description
This two-part webinar (with downloadable transcripts) examines how to apply shared decision-making (SDM) models for patients with atrial fibrillation (AFib). Methods to identify and overcome barriers to SDM, and to incorporate the role of interdisciplinary teams in implementing SDM, are explored. In addition, three SDM decision aid tools for AFib stroke prevention are demonstrated. Explore this webinar, which offers attached transcripts of the content with highlights of key concepts, as well as the ability to view specific snippets of video content.
