Decisional Clarity Protocol

Meaning

A Decisional Clarity Protocol is a structured, systematic process utilized in clinical practice to guide patients through complex healthcare decisions, ensuring they fully understand the available options, potential outcomes, and personal values alignment. This protocol aims to mitigate decisional conflict, which is a state of uncertainty about which course of action to take when choices involve risk, benefit trade-offs, and personal preferences. It is a key component of shared decision-making, particularly relevant when discussing elective or long-term hormonal therapies.
