CommonGround is a web-based software program that helps mental health clients identify treatment preferences and effectively communicate them to clinicians.[1]
People diagnosed with mental health disorders are often faced with complex treatment options.[1] Shared decision making can be useful when medical evidence does not suggest a clearly optimal treatment path.[2] The program makes use of shared decision making to increase the effectiveness and efficiency of consultations, and has led to higher levels of satisfaction among clients.[1]
