Disrupt

Public Group active 1 month, 2 weeks ago

You are a disruptor. The delivery of health care starts with you, continues because of you, and ends with you. Without you, our health care system couldn’t afford to continue. Let’s pool our energy and disrupt together. Together, let’s reinvent health care by making sure the family caregiver always has what he or she needs in order to continue to be a provider in the health care system. Share your stories of how you disrupt for your caree and for family caregivers. (Learn more about our disrupt campaign here: http://www.caregiving.com/2012/04/lets-disrupt/)

    Gave a Caregiving.com flyer to a fellow caregiver whom I met at the dentist, to whom we had both taken our carees. We had a great conversation while we waited for them and will hopefully stay in touch.

    Here is something I have come up with. I have started a Petition with the White House for Caregivers who take care of our parents, but struggle doing it. This Petition would help with Health Care (for Caregivers), compensation for those who don’t get sick or vacation time when the loved one is sick or is sent to a hospital out of town. This is…[Read more]

    Just recommended this site to a blogger at Open Diary after seeing her entry listed on the front page. She’s a sandwich caregiver and a working caregiver, new to the experience. I sent her the calendar link to the Sandwich Shop chat on 2/16 and the link to the Working Family Caregiver ebook download.

    After a second prodding to fill out the Obama/Biden campaign’s post-election survey, I went to the site. Their constituent group list included healthcare workers, but NOT family caregivers! I took three opportunities while filling out the survey to request that family caregivers be included, and added that we are on the front lines of healthcare…[Read more]
