Target Population

.Infants aged 1–6 months.

.Families at well-baby clinics.

.Families considering rotavirus vaccine.

.Families needing decision support.


Description

In order to enhance the relationship between doctors and patients and establish a healthy whole-person medical culture, the country's first "Medical-patient Shared Decision-making Resource Center" was established to effectively promote shared decision-making between doctors and patients. The Department of Pediatrics of Shuanghe Hospital cooperates with the Medical-Patient Shared Decision-making Resource Center to innovatively use the "medical-patient shared decision-making" model and the "medical-patient shared decision-making aid tool" to help the baby's family decide whether the baby will receive the oral rotary vaccine at their own expense, so that the baby's family members know about the wheel vaccine. You can better understand the vaccine and decide whether to let your baby receive the "self-paid oral rotary vaccine" based on your own situation. Our pediatric team consists of experienced pediatricians and specialist nurses. It provides vaccinations and health care, and has also helped countless sick children recover from health. It has also helped with COVID-19 vaccines and influenza injections, and is widely trusted and recognized by the public. We also continue to cooperate with the Medical and Patient Shared Decision-Making Resource Center to promote "Shared Medical and Patient Decision-Making (SDM)" and use the "medical and patient Shared Decision-Making Aid Tool" in medical preventive injection and health care.


Key Highlights

Use the "Doctor-patient shared decision-making aid (PDA)" to promote "doctor-patient shared decision-making (SDM)" in medical preventive injection health care.

Service Data

In a 2020 study at Shuang Ho Hospital’s Department of Pediatrics, 87% of infants in the shared decision-making (SDM) group received self-paid oral rotavirus vaccine. The vaccination rate was 16.7% higher than in the non-SDM group. Based on 200,000 annual newborns nationwide, this could increase vaccination by 32,000 infants. Increased vaccination may reduce hospitalization by 85%, easing the burden on families and society. SDM has been continuously implemented in the well-baby clinic, serving 779 families in 2021, 403 in 2022, 474 in 2023, and 250 from January to July 2024. The hospital’s rotavirus vaccination rate remained 85.37%–87.59%. Families reported significantly higher satisfaction with written decision-aid materials. They better understood rotavirus vaccine information, benefits and limitations; were better able to ask questions; and felt more confident deciding whether to vaccinate. Compared with other hospitals (40%–55%), our vaccination rate was higher at 85.37%–87.59%. Through continued collaboration between Pediatrics and the SDM Resource Center, this pioneering SDM and patient decision-aid model supports informed family choices and may inform future vaccine policy.


Featured Outcomes

The research results and applications of the pediatric team of Shuanghe Hospital and shared decision-making papers were published in foreign journals
