CommonGround is a Web app that helps mental health clients identify treatment preferences and effectively communicate them to clinicians.[1]

People diagnosed with mental health disorders are often faced with complex treatment options.[1] Shared decision making can be useful when medical evidence does not suggest a clearly optimal treatment path.[2] The program makes use of shared decision making to increase the effectiveness and efficiency of consultations, and has led to higher levels of satisfaction among clients.[1]

History

CommonGround was first implemented by Patricia Deegan in 2006 in conjunction with the Kansas Department of Social and Rehabilitation Services.[3] Providers can license the software for a monthly or yearly fee, which varies according to the number of users.[4]
