Our Goals, Our History
Decision.org is the American Center for Patient Decisionmaking, Inc., a nonprofit group that helps patients understand treatment options and connect to the care they need.
Helping Patients, One by One
Since 1995, decision.org has worked with clinicians, suppliers, health services researchers, and pharmaceutical experts to help patients identify medical options for serious diseases. Researching treatment options, ensuring access to care, and advocating for insurance reimbursement are common topics of interest.
Adding to the Public Policy Debate
In addition to the focus on individual patients, decision.org works on a policy basis to promote patient-centered decisionmaking in every corner of medical care. We look at ways to:
- make treatments available faster,
- minimize the risk to human subjects in trials,
- keep care affordable, and
- obtain insurance reimbursement
We are particularly vocal in the use of pharmaceuticals, where so many patient access issues arise:
- accelerated access,
- compassionate use exemptions,
- drug affordability, and
- insurance coverage
Drug issues are simply fundamental for most patients facing acute medical challenges.
Our Goal: Getting Patients What They Need
Decision.org promotes patient-centered decisionmaking on all fronts, big and small, hoping for the day when patients and their family members will enjoy transparent access to appropriate care.
We welcome the volunteer participation of specialty physicians, pharmaceutical experts, reimbursement specialists, and of course contributors in support of this work.
