Captions available

The idea

The focus on gathering, appraising and synthesising evidence does not by itself guarantee that patient-valued preferences and clinician expertise are included in the decision.

In practice

A rigorous synthesis feeding a decision nobody consulted the patient about.

Where people slip

Doing steps one to three well can produce a confident answer to a question the patient was never asked.
