Project: The Hospital Practice Acupuncturist Data Survey Project

Diane Behall and I have begun work on this major project.  This is a pilot project-style collection of data on acupuncturists who work in hospital practice.  This will be the first time this data has been collected.  We have put together a question data bank.

Now we need funding, resources, and support to get to the next steps of working with biometrics and statistician to hone the work to fit research-grade criteria.  To sponsor the project or contribute toward the work, please contact me via our website.

Contribute to the campaign page or website to get this project off the ground, build this community, and support the movement of integrative medicine as a part of modern medicine.

Let's grow and support the hospital practice acupuncturist professional community and their hospital sponsors (hospital administrators)!  Contribute to get these projects up and running and be part of this engaged community!

To learn about all of our 2017 Projects, see our fundraising page on Indiegogo.

On the campaign page, to contribute select "back it" and fill in the amount you choose.
Or, you can choose a "Perk" package.  For a package, some of your contribution goes to paying for the perk items and shipping and the rest goes directly to the Project (minus some processing fees).

Contribute directly to the website if you want as much of your contribution to go directly to Project costs as possible.

Mission: Make Integrative Medicine Accessible to Patients in Hospitals

Memorial weekend is here; when, as a society we remember those who have given their lives in service to our country.  This long weekend may we remember the fallen as we support the living.

As a miltary family member with several Blue Stars, my mission has been to help make accessible non-drug, non-surgery options (acupuncture, massage, chiropractic, etc.) for health and wellness to servicemembers, veterans, and their families.  Having acupuncture (which is part of East Asian Medicine) and other non-drug, non-surgery options available in medical center and hospital facilities to complement conventional care will help shorten inpatient stay length, decrease pain, improve function, and decrease overall health care costs.

This mission has taken several forms over the past decade or so.

Most recently this has been in building a set of resources (called The Hospital Practice Handbook Project) to make it easier for facilities and their hospital administrators to hire acupuncturists into their systems and thus have Integrative Medicine (IM) professionals on staff.  

For patients to have access to integrative medicine, you need to hire IM practitioners into the facility.

Why?  Because, I found that one of the major barriers to getting access to IM is getting IM professionals hired into the system.  People have best access to care when it is delivered in places they are already going, whether it is a mobile wellness clinic at the community center or the VFW or the local medical facility.  In particular, servicemembers and their families have best access and greatest potential for team care coordination when it is available in their facility (MTF).  The next-best is having it covered by TriCare out-in-town by trained and qualified providers.  

Patients have the best access and greatest potential for team care coordination when IM (including acupuncture) is available in their usual health care facility.

The Hospital Practice Handbook Project Resource is for all hospital practice IM practitioners, whether you work in a civilian, DoD, or VA facility.  These resources are general and collaborative.  They are not facility-specific.  They are profession-specific; specific to Integrative Medicine professionals, with emphasis on East Asian Medicine professionals.

Contribute to my work of building this stepping-stone resource over the barriers into the health care facilities at the Hospital Practice Handbook website.

Or go to our spring fundraising page. 

This work supports the movement of integrative medicine as a part of modern medicine.

*Blue Stars--each blue star represents one family member serving.  A blue star banner or flag can have up to 5 stars.  If a servicemember dies, a smaller gold star is placed on top of the blue star.

Theo Chocolate's founder, Joe Whinney, pioneered the supply of organic cocoa beans into the U.S. over 20 years ago.  He has worked to promote Fair Trade practices for those who farm the beans that are made into chocolate.

"Theo chocolate comes from only the purest ingredients grown in the most sustainable ways possible.  Everything we make and sell meets the highest standards for organic, Fair Trade and Fair for Life".

FDA Pain Management Guideline to Medical Providers recommends Acupuncture

This month, May 2017, the FDA released an updated guideline to primary care providers who have patients with chronic pain (FDA Education Blueprint for Health Care Providers Involved in the Management or Support of Patients with Pain).  The guideline has been updated to reflect an increased emphasis on non-drug (aka non-pharm) management of chronic pain, specifically naming acupuncture as a non-pharm pain relief therapy.

Having East Asian Medicine practitioners (acupuncturists) work in hospitals from the inpatient unit to specialty clinics to the patient-centered medical home (PCMH) team makes this non-pharm therapy that complements conventional care more accessible to referring providers and their patients.

At the Hospital Practice Handbook Project, we are creating resources and community discussion space to connect hospital administrators who want to add this resource to their program or clinic to the hospital practice acupuncturist professional community.  Being connected to these resources and professional community helps both administrators and hospital-practice acupuncturists avoid re-inventing the wheel and and working in silos.  We are able to learn from each other's wisdom and share resources.

To support this important work, contribute to our crowdfunding campaign today.  Thank you.

Contribute directly to the website if you want as much of your contribution to go directly to Project costs as possible.

The Webinar Series Project

updated June 2019

In our 2017 fundraising campaign, the webinar series was on the list of "projects that need funding" and it we did not raise enough in that fundraiser to get the series started.
However, it is still considered a very important Project series to the hospital-based practice community, so I continue to hold space for it and room for future funding. So, if you are interested in sponsoring it for late 2019-2020, go to our Sponsor The Work page (and share it with your colleague or organization). 

The webinar series is a formal way to share our community wisdom.

The webinar series supports the Project Mission by

• sharing community wisdom
• discussing best practices and standards
• creating discussion space
• growing the community of living wisdom in a formal way

Contribute to the website to get this project off the ground, build this community, and support the movement of integrative medicine as a part of modern medicine.

What it is:  at each webinar, one member of the community will talk about a subject he or she is passionate about and will benefit  the community.  This may vary from best practices to recent research reviews to documentation standards.
Current discussion topics in the group include:

• Documentation standards for hospital practitioners
• Program solvency
• Program set up
• Residencies, fellowship programs, and specialty certifications
• How to design a research study in integrative medicine, with emphasis on East Asian Medicine
• Capturing clinical outcomes data
• Discussing research and best practices

Proposed webinar flow:
30 minute presentation followed by 30 minute discussion, Q&A session
record-able webinar--for anyone who cannot make the proposed time the speaker is available to present that month.

Webinar series
$2400 is the estimated cost of hosting the record-able webinar series for 12 months.
Check out our YouTube video for more details.

We did not raise enough funds in the spring 2017 to support the Webinar series project.  However, the Webinar Series idea continues to be requested and a potentially useful way to share community wisdom, so it is on the list of "projects-to-be-funded" for 2019-2020.

Learning about Mindfulness--are you appreciating the present moment?

photo credit:  Megan Kingsley Gale.  Olympic National Park

Are you able to stop and appreciate the present moment?  Enjoy that morsel of chocolate cake, revel in the warmth of the sunshine on your shoulders, or, without judgment, watch happy children run down a grassy hill?

It is very easy in our world and culture to get caught up in tasking and getting things done and oh-no! I'm running late!  It takes practice to slow down and enjoy the simple things in life.  Research has shown that the ability to do this, to slow down and be in the present moment (also known as practicing "mindfulness") leads to better health, greater resilience, and better decision-making skills.

To learn more about appreciating the present moment and practicing mindfulness, check out the links to the recommended resources below. Teaching mindfulness and basic breathing techniques is a tool in East Asian Medicine, which is the foundation of Integrative Medicine.  Jon Kabat-Zinn, PhD has some great easy-to-understand resources we've included in these packages.  Dr. Kabat-Zinn founded the mindfulness-based-stress-reduction (MBSR) programs that are in some hospitals.

[original post was 5.16.2017 and featuring a set of "perk packages" in our spring 2017 fundraiser. 
links updated 11.30.2018]

Here are some recommended starting reads:

1. the book, Letting Everything Become Your Teacher:  100 Lessons in Mindfulness by Jon Kabat-Zinn
2. the book, Mindfulness for Beginners: Reclaiming the Present Moment and Your Life by Jon Kabat-Zinn
3. the book and audio CD, Sitting like a Frog: Mindfulness Exercises for Kids (and their parents) by Eline Snel--a great resource to share with your kids or nieces and nephews or grandchildren
4. the audio CD, Mindfulness Meditation for Pain Relief:  Guided Practices for Reclaiming Your Body and Your Life by Jon Kabat-Zinn.  This is a great self-help resource for anyone who experiences chronic pain.

If you want to keep it to the practical basics:

1. the book, Mindfulness for Beginners and
2. the audio CD, Mindfulness Meditation for Pain Relief

These mindfulness packages make great gifts for yourself or a friend  The audio CD on mindfulness for pain relief is a useful home non-drug self-care resource to complement ongoing conventional care for your chronic pain.

Creating Resources to Grow and Connect the Hospital Practice Integrative Medicine Community

The Hospital Handbook Projects of 2017--Creating more Resources to Grow and Connect the Hospital Practice Integrative Medicine Community!

The Hospital Handbook Project is about creating community and connecting that community (hospital practice acupuncturists and their hospital sponsors/hospital administrators) to published resources.

There are barriers to working in medical facilities. The primary barrier has been that we are new to the system. Often each time an Acupuncturist (EAMP) is hired, he or she is the first EAMP in the system, so the problem of "re-inventing the wheel" is common.

Instead of existing in silos, this Project endeavors to create connections, community, and share wisdom.

At the Project, we are creating a set of published resources and connecting hospital practitioners to resources already published, this work is a ladder over the barrier. You still need to get moving to climb it and land on the other side with your sponsor. But this work sets up your program/clinic so it is better poised for success, by learning from the wisdom of others. This is what the Hospital Practice living resource aims to do.

Mission: Create a resource of basic standards and guidelines for hospital practice while creating community of hospital practice Acupuncturists to discuss standards, guidelines, best practices, and share wisdom.

Please contribute to the Hospital Handbook Project today to get these projects off the ground in 2017!  

You can be part of building this community resource by contributing via the website or the campaign page today!

Thank you.
Megan
