TL;DR
Training primary care physicians in the shared decision-making model improves physician satisfaction in caring for patients with chronic pain and promoters the use of patient treatment agreements.
Abstract
Training primary care physicians in the shared decision-making model improves physician satisfaction in caring for patients with chronic pain and promotes the use of patient treatment agreements. Further research is necessary to determine whether this training improves patient satisfaction and outcomes.
