shared decision
Mutual agreement reached
A shared decision is one made jointly by two or more parties rather than imposed by one side.
The term appears most often in healthcare, where shared decision-making involves patients and doctors weighing options together: We reached a shared decision to try physical therapy before surgery.
The concept emphasizes collaboration and mutual agreement over unilateral authority.
