Decision Counseling Program

Important health decisions may relate to lifestyle changes, early detection tests, risk assessment, treatment, quality of life, or survivorship.

Making good health decisions can be difficult for patients and providers, especially when there is a lot of information to understand and there is uncertainty about possible outcomes. Informed decision making by patients and shared decision-making that involves patients and health care providers are recognized as hallmarks of quality medical care.

Please contact the department for more information 215-503-7801, for more information about, or to access, the Jefferson Decision Counseling Application.
