Longtime Integrator columnist Taylor Walsh conceived and led development of the Integrative Healthcare Policy Consortium's consumer-focused CoverMyCare campaign.
Walsh is a writer and consultant working out of the Beltway. The goal
is to help consumers partner with practitioners to drive efforts to get
payers to meet the intent of the Non-Discrimination in Healthcare provision (Section 2706)
of the Affordable Care Act. While many people are throwing their hands
up in frustration, it is clear from this report that real work is under
way in multiple states to shift access as Section 2706 mandates. Walsh
shares legislative activity in California, Hawaii, New Mexico, Rhode
Island and Minnesota.

This
typically monthly Integrator feature is, for February 2015, a
quick capture of highlights
from the stories that flow in daily from various sources relative to
"integrative medicine." A remarkable trend is the number of stories
about new medical hires who advertise their completion of the U Arizona
Fellowship in Integrative Medicine. Here are 24 selections
related to hospitals and medical organizations and integrative medicine,
plus just 2 from
alternative and integrative medicine in community non-system practices
for February 2015. For you paying attention: January got by me without
competing this practice. Apologies. When time allows, this practice
continues to astound. Critical mass! (Note that Global News Links are
now posted at The Global Integrator Blog for Global Advances in Health and Medicine - see related notice here. Exciting development.)

I
first encountered medical student Pooja Shankar, MS, when I was a guest
lecturer at the Masters in Physiology-Complementary and Alternative
Medicine program at Georgetown University. The program, co-founded by
Hakima Amri, PhD and Adi Haramati, PhD,
is a rare feeder program to health professional education. Students are
opened up to engaging a broad array of potential tracks. I had a
secondary reason for liking the ongoing relationship. All of
these students must complete an two-month capstone project. ACCAHC had
scored great work from one such intern and we were interested in more
free labor ...

Three long-time colleagues recently made me a
wonderful offer that met with a rising personal area of interest: the
global
movement for integrative health and medicine. This has been gestating in
me particularly
since 2012 when I was invited by the World Health Organization (WHO) to
Hong
Kong to serve on a working group for the now published WHO
traditional medicine strategy: 2014-2023. Michele Mittelman,
RN, MPH, the co-founder and CEO of the peer-reviewed and indexed
Global Advances in Health and Medicine (GAHMJ), together with GAHMJ's
co-editors Mary Jo Kreitzer, RN, PhD, FAAN and Robert Saper, MD, MPH,
invited me to write an 8-10 time monthly Global Integrator Blog ...

In
2006, I began publishing, on or near the winter solstice, an annual
Integrator Top
10 list for the emerging field of integrative health and medicine.
Together these chronicle nine years of policy and action in this popular
movement.
Here is the Coming of the Light Integrator Top 10 for Policy and Action
in Integrative Health and Medicine for 2014 noting the work of the
Joint Commission, the VA, the massage field, the (shocking) emergence of
health as a theme in medicine, a US Senator named Thad Cochran (get
used to him), a project on the economics of care, plus more. (This column was first published here in the Huffington Post, with now over 850 likes and 250 FB pushes.

This new monthly Integrator feature is now
developed in partnership with the web presence of the peer-reviewed and
indexed Global Advances in Health and Medicine. It represents a quick
capture of highlights
from a multitude of sources relative to dynamic developments globally in
alternative and integrative heath due to such factors as the World
Health Organization's past and recent traditional Medicine Strategy,
economics, expanding globalization and the uptake of integrative
medicine and health models. Here are 21 selections from India, Turkey,
Qatar, Pakistan, Malaysia, England, Australia, Russia and elsewhere for
December 2014.
January 5, 2015
This
typically monthly Integrator feature is a quick capture of highlights
from the multitude of stories that flow in daily from various sources relative to
"integrative medicine," "complementary and alternative
medicine" and "alternative medicine." Once a month I cull through and make some selections. Recently the field's cup
seems to be running over. This is in
part due to my use of a broader inclusion net for what I am selections. Here are 15 selections
related to hospitals and medical organizations and integrative medicine, 13 from
alternative and integrative medicine in community non-system practices and
media for December 2014. (Note that: Global News Links are now separately posted.)
