Identification and Rating of Treatment Goals in Schizophrenia: Delphi Process and Concordance Survey in Matched Physician-Patient Pairs
We found that experts agree upon the importance of 30 treatment goals from three categories. Physicians and patients largely align on treatment goals. More emphasis may be placed on clarifying potential medication side effects. Physicians should be aware that patients' priorities could be more focused on improving quality of life and gaining autonomy rather than symptom management.
