one that promises to enhance healthcare efficiency,  transform the experience for both the patient and their providers, and improve  healthcare outcomes.\u00a0 This cultural shift requires adaptation among healthcare  professionals (including physicians) as well as patients and  caregivers.<\/p>\n<p>And yet  changing culture amongst physicians remains challenging, for a variety of  reasons (some good, some not so good).\u00a0 For example, it takes an average of 17  years until physicians adopt proven best practices.\u00a0 Hopefully, Participatory  Medicine won\u2019t take so long.<\/p>\n<p>Yet,  there are many of my colleagues who are already adherents to the model of  Participatory Medicine, although they may not call it that. <!--more--> These physicians  work hard to engage patients in their healthcare, understanding that healthcare  is not a spectator sport.\u00a0 They have a mutually respectful relationship with  their patients, encourage them to search for online health information, point  them to online support communities, communicate with them online, and invite  patients to view their records both when in the office and at  home.<\/p>\n<p>Why  practice Participatory Medicine?\u00a0 Everyone has their own motivations.\u00a0 Some of  our stories (including <a
