Share the decisions table: one more step in the patient's experience

Mònica Almiñana

During the past Christmas holidays, many of us have shared a table with family and friends. Can you imagine if we did it with our patients to decide how we should evaluate their diseases?

That is what the Karolinska Hospital in Stockholm (Sweden) effectively proposes: a whole revolution in the way of understanding the care process. For those who don’t know, the Karolinska is one of the largest and most innovative university hospitals in Europe. It serves a total of 1.5 million patients per year, with a newly built infrastructure that houses 1,600 beds and employs 15,800 people.
