CAM US History • 1970’s American Holistic Medical Association • 1980’s popular books – Our Bodies, Our Selves • 1991 US Congress establishes Office of Alternative Medicine at NIH ($2 million) • 1993 Eisenberg’s article in NEJM on common CAM use in US (34% of US adults) • 1996 publication of The Holistic Pediatrician • 2000 CAHCIM • 2002 White House Commission on CAM report • 2005 Institute of Medicine report on CAM • 2005 AAP CHIM
CAM Clinical History US • 1970’s and ’80’s – scattered MD clinics, eg Norm Shealy, Chris Northrup, Andy Weil, Hugh Riordan, Jim Gordon, Bob Anderson • 1990’s –stand-alone multidisciplinary clinics; financially issues; growth of CAM in medical schools and CME 2000’s – integration into existing clinics; integration into hospital care –mind/body, massage, acupuncture, nutrition, hospital formulary policies; start of CAM education in residency education • Financing – initially with philanthropy, wealthy self-pay; moving toward advocacy for insurance coverage (See John Weeks) • Evidence-base
Growth of CAM Research MEDLINE Citations Under “Alternative Medicine” 1966-2005
Old Model: CAM Therapies Alternative Mainstream biomedicine Complementary
Concerns about CAM • Sylvia Millecam death from breast cancer following treatment with acupuncture, faith, psychic healers • Unfounded treatments (NOT evidence-based) • Poor oversight (poor coordination) • NOT complementary BMJ, 28 Feb 2004
Patient/Consumer Interest • Use is high; most use combinations • 42% of Americans reported using (1997) • Consumers self-paid $27 billion; this exceeds out of pocket expenses for hospital care • Out of pocket payments highest for herbs and supplements, massage, acupuncture, fitness training
Popularity leads to…eResources • US Presidential Commission on CAM, chaired by James Gordon, MD http://www.whccamp.hhs.gov/ • Institute of Medicine report on CAM in the US, chaired by Professor Stuart Bondurant, MD; http://www.nap.edu/books/0309092701/html/ <>
eResource: NIH NCCAM • Patient information sheets in English and Spanish • Ongoing research projects/clinical trials • Education and Training opportunities • http://nccam.nih.gov NCCAM Clearinghouse:(US) 1-888-644-6226
eResource: NCI OCCAM • Health information for patients http://www.cancer.gov/cam/health_understanding.html • Clinical trial information • Grant funding for research projects
Highest CAM Users • Well educated • Upper income • Women • Chronically ill (pain fatigue, anxiety, depression)
Why use CAM? • Consistent with patient values (ecological, spiritual, political) • Person-centered • Gentler • Empowering • Esthetic • Less drug dependent • Less technology dependent • Meaning – causes, what one can do • Lifestyle emphasis • Failures of medicine (antibiotic resistance; side effects, costs; medical errors; limited access) poor success with chronic illnesses
Resource • Founded in 2000 • 38 academic health centers (Harvard, Yale, Duke, Stanford, UAz, WFUSM, UMi, UMn, UNM, U Alberta, etc) • International Research Conference • Collaborative research • Developing “best practices” clinical models • Education (residency and undergrad) • http://www.imconsortium.org/cahcim/about/home.html

Patient-centered care = holistic Caring for whole person - body, mind, emotions, spirit, relationships -- in the context of family, culture and community Biopsychosocial model Culturally sensitive care Can a surgeon be holistic? YES
Current Approach Care based primarily on visits Professional autonomy drives variability Professionals control care Information is a record Decision making is based on training and experience New Rule Care is based on continuous healing relationships Care is customized according to patient needs and values The patient is the source of control Knowledge is shared and information flows freely Decision making is evidence- based US Institute of Medicine’s Rules for the Twenty-First Century Health Care System
Current Approach Do no harm is an individual responsibility The system reacts to needs Cost reduction is sought Preference is given to professional roles over the system. New Rule Safety is a system property Needs are anticipated Waste is continuously decreased Cooperation among clinicians is a priority Institute of Medicine’s Simple Rules for the Twenty-First Century Health Care System
CAM is a SUBSET of tools within Integrative Medicine Integrative Medicine emphasizes • wellness and healing of the whole person, • with special emphasis on patient participation, • and attention to mental and spiritual health; • Communication, empowerment, cultural awareness The knowledge and use of Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM) is an important aspect of Integrative Medicine.
