A comparison of pre-Treaty and post-Treaty land title and authority for First Nations pursuing carbon offsets in British Columbia will be filtered through three themes: property rights, shared decision-making and forest governance. The Indian Act (1876) has unclear jurisdiction for pursuing carbon offsets. The Haida Reconciliation Protocol-Kunst’aa guu-Kunst’aayah (2009), Coastal First Nations Reconciliation Protocol (2010) and Nanwakolas First Nations Reconciliation Protocol (2011) address this grey area and achieve protocols that provide certainty for carbon rights. Nisga’a, Tsawwassen, Maa-nulth and Sliammon treaties do not include carbon rights but have the power to instill a carbon project.

This article introduces a 2011 Master’s thesis that undertook two objectives. First, it assesses whether the Coastal First Nations, a coalition of First Nations on the coast of British Columbia, have acquired a share of governmental decision-making authority for three types of decisions: land use zones, ecosystem-based management (EBM) operating rules, and approval of operational plans. Second, it provides an overview of the unique government-to-government process that evolved for the resource management for British Columbia’s North and Central Coast, and the framework for shared decision-making that has been established between the Crown and the Coastal First Nations regarding the three land use planning decisions under investigation.

Shared decision-making (SDM), a component of patient-centered care, is the process in which the clinician and patient both participate in decision-making about treatment; information is shared between the parties and both agree with the decision. Shared decision-making is appropriate for health care conditions in which there is more than one evidence-based treatment or management option that have different benefits and risks. The patient's involvement ensures that the decisions regarding treatment are sensitive to the patient's values and preferences. Audiologic rehabilitation requires substantial behavior changes on the part of patients and includes benefits to their communication as well as compromises and potential risks. This article identifies the importance of shared decision-making in audiologic rehabilitation and the changes required to implement it effectively.

Auch in der Onkologie hat das Thema Patientenbeteiligung zunehmend an Bedeutung gewonnen. Ein häufig genanntes Mantra dazu lautet: Viele Patienten wünschen sich eine aktivere Rolle bei der eigenen Gesundheitsversorgung, am besten auf „Augenhöhe“. Ein Ansatz, der solche Wünsche berücksichtigt, ist die partizipative Entscheidungsfindung (PEF, shared-decision-making). Auch auf gesundheitspolitischer Ebene spielt PEF eine wachsende Rolle, wird z. B. im Rahmen des Nationalen Krebsplans spezifisch gefördert (►siehe Kasten). Ob und wieweit diese ambitionierten Ziele in der Onkologie in der Versorgungswirklichkeit angekommen sind, war eines der Themen beim 17. Deutschen Kongress für Versorgungsforschung in Berlin. Es zeigte sich: PEF ist in vielen Bereichen der Onkologie noch längst nicht angekommen.
