Summary

The purpose of this research study is to learn more about how the use of a Shared Decision-Making Tool (SDMT) will impact a patient's decision-making to pursue treatment for knee osteoarthritis.

Detailed description

The main purpose of this study is to determine the impact of the SDMT on patient decision- making regarding various treatment modalities for knee osteoarthritis. If the SDMT is found to be beneficial, it can be implemented to help engage patients in their care and support more efficient implementation of treatment suggestions. This subsequently will improve patient's quality of life. Getting patients who have not taken advantage of preventive care or healthy lifestyles to change is paramount to making the medical experience in America more equal for all its citizens and reducing total societal costs. Building provider-patient communication tools that resonate with all stakeholders should inform patients as they work to make health decisions that reflect their individual beliefs.

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	Shared Decision-Making Tool	The Shared Decision-Making Tool (SDMT) is designed to provide a personalized, patient- centered framework for clinical discussions regarding treatment options for knee osteoarthritis. The tool functions through patient input of information such as pain severity and current symptoms, alongside other demographic information such as age, race, and comorbidities, to offer a series of outcomes to better illustrate how the patient's specific disease presentation will progress. Ultimately, using the SDMT may impact patient behavior if patients change their treatment preferences after utilizing the tool. This can empower them to seek additional support over time and maintain communication with their orthopedist to ensure they are on a healthier path.
