topics: unique historical perspective on the changing models of healthcare to incorporate integrative medicine (formerly complementary and alternative medicine) into the U.S. healthcare model and the economics behind the stability and growth of any healthcare model in the current system
This week's Lunchtime Listen recommendation is John Weeks' presentation from May 17th, 2017, on "Evolving Economics of Integrative Medicine". The webinar was hosted by the Leadership Program in Integrative Healthcare at Duke University.
In the "Evolving Economics of Integrative Medicine" webinar presentation, John Weeks presents the historical perspective of integrative medicine and the economics of health care within the U.S. health care delivery system.
In case your lunch break is 30 minutes and not 50+ minutes, I included my notes below with minute marks about some of the subjects.
Topic: the historical
perspective of integrative medicine and the economics of health care and health
care delivery system
Discusses how the idea of CAM’s ability to reduce health
care costs has some unexpected negatives in the health care delivery
system. U.S.’s current for-profit
business model for health insurance actually has the perverse or negative
incentive of “containing costs” and not
wanting costs of providing healthcare to decrease. This discussion with slides starts at minute
20.
Minute 34-36: The economic value argument. Samueli Institute and Wayne Jonas, MD and their case for Integrative Health models as good for business and economic health. There is cost savings in nurse retention, the diminished patient length of stay, ability to "make beds available", patient satisfaction and employee satisfaction, and improved safety through reduced errors.
Minute 36: the Rise of “Value-Based Medicine”. The movement from Triple AIM to Quadruple AIM.
Key terms used in this movement: patient-centered, outcomes, silos to teams, community, sick care to health care, cost-reduction

Minute 37-39: He quotes several American Hospital Association leaders, about the Affordable
Care act and how it has significantly helped change the healthcare system in
the positive direction of Quadruple Aim
"we are realizing ...we need to change the focus of health care industry to creating health not just producing.." --Douglas Wood, MD, Director of Strategy and Policy, Mayo Clinic Center for Innovation
Minute 39: He introduces the Consortium's PIHTA program and how it is related to the Bravewell Collaborative work
Minute 40: PIHTA (Center for Optimal Integration) and examples of integrative health care models being incorporated into patient-centered medical homes (PCMHs)
