About
Stephanie C. Pannell is a researcher dedicated to improving patient-centered care, with a particular focus on the intricate dynamics of shared decision-making in complex clinical settings. Her most cited work, "Engaging patients in complex clinical decision-making: Successes, pitfalls, and future directions" (2017), critically examines both the triumphs and challenges of involving patients in high-stakes medical choices. This paper, which has garnered 4 citations, offers a nuanced framework for understanding how to navigate the delicate balance between clinical expertise and patient autonomy. Pannell’s contributions are especially valuable for clinicians and health systems seeking to implement more collaborative care models, as she identifies key barriers—such as time constraints and information asymmetry—while proposing actionable strategies to overcome them. Her work underscores the importance of tailoring engagement approaches to the complexity of each decision, ensuring that patients are not merely informed but truly empowered participants in their own care. Through this research, Pannell has laid important groundwork for future studies on patient-clinician communication, making her a thoughtful voice in the ongoing effort to humanize healthcare delivery.
