My MS Workbook and Checklist
My MS Workbook and My MS Checklist are resources designed to help people with MS and their care partners prepare for appointments with their physicians and for discussions with their healthcare team.
Through an initiative titled “Making MS Decisions Together,” MSAA, in partnership with Novartis, established an expert steering committee focused on the importance of shared decision-making in MS. Shared decision-making is the process in which patients and physicians are encouraged to speak together openly about treatment and other healthcare decisions.
The goal of this initiative was to gain insights into perspectives toward shared decision-making in MS and to develop an educational and confidence-building program to support the MS community. The global steering committee consisted of people living with MS, care partners, and healthcare professionals. My MS Workbook and My MS Checklist have been created as a result of this initiative, which, among other methods, gathered valuable information through surveys to people with MS, care partners, and healthcare professionals.
