Abstract

Our existing paradigm of “health care” is nothing more than “sick care”. Providing a more holistic and preventive approach is challenging but something we must implement. The CDC estimates that 2/3rds to 3/4ths of all medical disorders are preventable. In 2013 “sick care” spending is estimated to approach 2.7 trillion dollars and consume 18% of the gross domestic product. This is unsustainable, and an approach that we have implemented at Henry Ford Health System; our wellness initiatives are designed to target many health care issues with the goal of preventing disease, improve outcomes and reduce health care expenditures. Some of these strategies involve Complementary and Integrative Medicine (CIM). “The best care is likely to emerge from a skillful blend of best evidence with caring, humility, and behavior that engenders a placebo response"(Rich Rosenfeld). The power of the body to heal itself is grossly underutilized in medicine today; the best physicians understand this and find ways to facilitate this healing. Physicians must learn about CIM. This course will provide the attendee with an important understanding of the powers of CIM; the pro’s the con’s what is safe and effective and how to appropriately offer these techniques to our patients.
