The Society for Participatory Medicine advocates for transforming the culture of care, so we watch for signs that the culture is changing. A newly released peer-reviewed article hints at progress: formally introducing patient perspectives into not just the practice of medicine but into the framework of competencies by which new physicians are measured and certified<\/em>.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s the lead article of an annual special issue of International Journal of Psychiatry in Medicine<\/a> (IJPM). The special issue each year is devoted to the previous fall\u2019s Forum for Behavioral Sciences in Family Medicine<\/a>. SPM co-founder Dave deBronkart gave a well-received closing speech at the 2017 forum and was asked to contribute the lead article for the issue.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe power structure of the clinical relationship is inevitably altered,\u201d<\/strong> the article says, \u201cas constraints on patient knowledge are loosened by the internet, apps, and devices,\u201d continuing that this undermines the \u201cparadigm of patients as uninformed recipients of care<\/strong> based on a one-way flow of wisdom from providers.\u201d This is aligned with SPM\u2019s description of patients shifting \u201cfrom mere passengers to active drivers\u201d of their care, with physicians welcoming the new behavior.<\/p>\n

To achieve the vision of physicians welcoming e-patients, vs saying “stay off the internet,” \u201cnew standard must be to teach clinicians to recognize, welcome, and work with empowered \u2018e-patients\u2019 in the new model of participatory medicine.\u201d<\/p>\n

The article speaks specifically about competencies and milestones for Family Medicine<\/a> (PDF), particularly pointing to such skills as shared decision making, patient autonomy, and self-management. Such certification of residents is done by ACGME, the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education, in dozens of specialities<\/a>.<\/p>\n

SPM board member Peter\u00a0Elias, MD says that the family medicine residents he taught as a volunteer faculty preceptor were eager to practice what he then called \u201ccollaborative medicine\u201d and quickly adapted to this approach when taught and supported.<\/p>\n

Accessing article content<\/h2>\n

The abstract of the article, \u201cThe patient\u2019s voice in the emerging era of participatory medicine,\u201d is\u00a0here<\/a>. The full text is behind a paywall, but deBronkart invites SPM members to email him<\/a> for a PDF.<\/p>\n
