5.0 out of 5 stars The Integrator for the Business of Integrative Healthcare, June 7, 2001

This review is from: Integrating Complementary Medicine into Health Systems (Hardcover)

Integrating Complementary Medicine into Health Systems, a 725-page ASPEN PUBLICATIONS text, is a remarkable compilation of strategies, articles, how-to, and opinion which should prove to be the enduring core text for CAM integrators and would-be integrators. This definitive work is a labor of love from editor NANCY FAASS, who managed to bring between two covers exceptional information from diverse, hands-on workers who are all leaders in the multi-stakeholder, integration undertaking - from research to coding, from network-based CAM coverage to hospital-based CAM delivery, from present utilization to a vision of optimal placement in a patient-centered system. For newcomers, Faass wisely includes a half-dozen sections on leading CAM modalities. But even for seasoned old-timers in CAM, this volume will be repeatedly pulled off the shelf as a valuable resource. Among the contributors are long-time integrators like Roger Jahnke, Wayne Jonas, Marty Rossman, Sita Ananth, Debra Canfield, Tracy Gaudet, William Stewart, Chuck Si mpson, Andrew Weil, Eileen Stretch, Karen Hohenstein, Laura Patton, Dean Ornish, Carlo Calabrese, Deborah Grandinetti, Jeffrey Bland, Michael Cohen, Linda Bedell-Logan, John Weeks, Melinna Gianinni, Christopher Foley, Marla Orth, Mary Jo Kreitzer, Tom Trompeter, and many more. In total: 67 chapters, encompassing a total of over 130 distinct contributions. Buy this one. $125.
