Some disproven misconceptions about shared decision-making
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Shared decision-making (SDM) consists of identifying a decision to be made, discussing the available options (with their associated benefits, harms and practical considerations) and eliciting patient values to arrive at a collaborative decision.1 Despite the ethical 2 and empiric 3 benefits of SDM, uptake of this approach remains low. 4 Pharmacists are well positioned to help address such shortcomings, given their medication expertise and ever-expanding scope of practice.However, based on our experiences and empirical findings, 5 several persisting misconceptions may serve as barriers to successful SDM implementation.The objective of this commentary is to discuss and disprove these misconceptions to facilitate SDM adoption.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
