A Replicable and Sustainable Whole Person Care Model for Chronic Pain

Background: Integrative health is an expanding field that is increasingly called upon by conventional medicine to provide care for patients with chronic pain and disease. Although evidence has mounted for delivering integrative therapies individually, there is little consensus on how best to deliver...

description Background: Integrative health is an expanding field that is increasingly called upon by conventional medicine to provide care for patients with chronic pain and disease. Although evidence has mounted for delivering integrative therapies individually, there is little consensus on how best to deliver these therapies in tandem as part of whole person care. While many models exist, few are financially sustainable. Methods and results: This article describes a conceptual and logistical model for providing integrative outpatient health care within an academic medical center or hospital system to patients with chronic pain and disease. In hopes that the model will be replicated, administrative details are provided to explain how the model operates and has been maintained over nine years. The details include the intentional building of a particular work culture. Conclusion: This whole person care model that addresses chronic pain and disease in an outpatient integrative clinic has been successful, sustainable and can be replicated in other academic medical centers or hospital clinics.
