Collaboration could be the best medicine when caregiving for a loved one. Eric has learned a lot since his wife’s illness, and wanted to share some ways to think about caregiving as a loving and mutually beneficial collaboration between yourself and one you are caring for.

“My first mistake was talking instead of listening. I should have slowed down. I should have given them the time and space to explain their thought process. I should have given myself the time to empathize with their perspective.” @statnews.com #MedSky #ParticipatoryMedicine buff.ly/WZ2dhj5

Look out for more from us in 2026 about our CHAMP initiative! We are developing a Collaborative Healthcare Action Measurement Platform (CHAMP) to rigorously and consistently measure the actions, behaviors, and perceptions of patients (consumers), providers, and health systems over time. #MedSky

Nurses notice the subtle clues that save lives. In the upcoming documentary, SICKLE, @Society for Participatory Medicine Board Member Dr. Brenda Merriweather discusses how she assesses patients through their unique body language. #sicklecellmatters #ASH2025 #SPM #MedSky

Nurses are people you can talk to. Healthcare providers talk to them in medical terms. Patients and families talk to them in practical terms. Nurses are critical to collaborative healthcare…and they are good at it too! #nursesareprofessional #ParticipatoryMedicine #PatientEngagement #MedSky

At Society for Participatory Medicine, we know AI is redefining patients and healthcare providers interactions. In October, @drdannysands.bsky.social moderated a panel of forward thinkers to discuss HOW AI is impacting these relationships: www.youtube.com/watch?v=DeT5... #MedSky #PatientsUseAI

Nurses play a critical role in connecting patients and providers. During COVID, nurses were the ones who spoke with the families AND physicians. #nursesareprofessional #MedSky #ParticipatoryMedicine #PatientEngagement #CollaborativeHealthcare #SPM

Collaboration is the best medicine. Patients and providers working together leads to better outcomes. Nurses are critical to connecting with patients. They listen. They translate. They advise. They keep two-way communication flowing. #nursesareprofessional

At @s4pm.bsky.social Collaboration is the Best Medicine. Nurses are integral to our vision of healthcare where patients and families are considered equal partners on the care team. Nurses get it! They are trained to notice the subtle changes that could be important. #nursesareprofessionals
