“Seven key factors that drive success for an integrative medicine center are: (1) strong medical leadership; (2) truly integrated, patient-centered care; (3) marketplace distinctiveness; (4) credibility with traditional physicians; (5) programs with traditional departments that build referrals; (6) cross subsidies designed into the center; and (7) minimal fixed costs.”
Bravewell Best Practices in Integrative Medicine
Integrative medicine is changing the way medicine is practiced in America. However, no two integrative medicine clinics or programs are identical. While many share patient populations, philosophies of care and treatment protocols, clinics and programs across the US utilize different approaches and economics, and often offer different services aimed at market segments unique to their locale and mission.
The Best Practices project documents and disseminates the many ways that integrative medicine is emerging within our health care system. All Best Practices presented are evidenced-based and have been vetted by a committee of experts.
