Large blue text spells out "CHAMP" above smaller gray text describing it as the "Collaborative Healthcare Action Measurement Platform," with the "Society for Participatory Medicine" logo and tagline in the lower portion, all on a white background with rounded corners.

The Collaborative Healthcare Action Measurement Platform (CHAMP) is a groundbreaking initiative from the Society for Participatory Medicine (SPM) built on a simple truth: collaboration is the best medicine. While today&#39;s healthcare system measures success through transactional metrics like wait times, it completely ignores the relational heart of care&mdash;trust, respect, and mutual communication. CHAMP is developing the first-ever behavioral index to measure what patients, family caregivers, and clinicians actually do during their care encounters, creating the evidence base needed to shift patients from passive &quot;passengers&quot; to active, empowered &quot;drivers&quot; of their own health. Your donation will bridge a critical funding gap as we prepare to field our&nbsp;national survey of 1,200 adults and validate the CHAMP index. Rebuilding trust in medicine is urgent: our recent pilot data reveals that only 58% of patients believe their clinicians are almost always honest, and only 20% feel treated as experts in their own health. Your contribution directly powers the science needed to make these trust deficits visible, with a special focus on identifying and correcting care disparities in underserved communities.
