Background: Integrating outcome information into the process of shared decision-making (SDM) about post-treatment surveillance can enhance its effectiveness. The Breast Cancer Surveillance Decision Aid (BCS-PtDA) integrates risk estimations of patients' risks for recurrences as well as outcome information on fear of cancer recurrence (FCR). The SHOUT-BC study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of the implementation of the BCS-PtDA.

Background: To improve Shared decision-making (SDM) regarding personalized post-treatment surveillance, the Breast Cancer Surveillance Decision Aid (BCS-PtDA), integrating personalized risk information, was developed and implemented in eight hospitals. The aim of this mixed-methods study was to (1) assess the implementation and participation rates, (2) identify facilitators and barriers for use by health care professionals (HCPs), (3) quantify the observed level of SDM, and (4) evaluate risk communication and SDM application in consultations.
Methods: Implementation and participation rates and patients' BCS-PtDA use were calculated using hospital registry data and BCS-PtDA log data.
Introduction: Collective patient participation, such as patient participation in policy making, has become increasingly important to achieve high-quality care. However, there is little knowledge on how to let patients participate in a meaningful manner at this level. The aim of this systematic literature review was to provide an overview of barriers, facilitators, and associated impact of collective patient participation.

Methods: This study had a mixed-methods design and consisted of two steps: RESULTS: HCPs indicated that aggregated outcome data are not routinely used in consultations. They pointed out various barriers to using outcome data, e.
