3. Patient’s Participation
- People need to be involved in
decision making to the extent
that they want to be. The best
way to do this is to ask them.
4. Demands
- Concordance is about both
parties expressing their views
and if as real therapeutic
professional has reservations
about a certain treatment option,
he needs to explain the rationale
to the patient.
