Options, outcomes, values, likelihoods decision-making guide for patients and their families.
When family caregivers are faced with making daily decisions, they may feel burdened, frustrated, and even in conflict with other family members. The OOVL Guide is a tool to help people think about the various aspects of a decision situation and combine them to make a decision. The OOVL Guide supports nurses in their advocacy role because it affirms the importance of the clients' values and preferences. The OOVL Guide provides decision-makers, both professionals and lay people, with a structure and procedure for making choices for themselves or others.
