Abstract

This article presents an overview of Shared Decision Making (SDM), increasingly considered the best way to involve patients in the decision-making process about their health care. However, despite wide international recognition, SDM is still not widely implemented in brazilian clinical practice, with informed consent being the decision-making model most commonly adopted by health professionals. Thus, this work, after clarifying the definitions around SDM, presents instruments for its application and the reasons why this new way of making decisions should be preferable to informed consent.
