"100 points--5 stars! ...This book covers virtually every facet of integrative medicine from current trends, to CAM administration, model programs, resources, and research of five major disciplines. Especially well done are the chapters on strategic planning, policy regulations, and operations. Case studies, models, bibliographies, and checklists are some of the elements that make this book an excellent reference tool.

First in the field, this compendium contains a wealth of information for healthcare administrators and practitioners. It is a 'must have' book for executives and decision makers transitioning into CAM programs or practices."

"Integrating Complementary Medicine into Health Systems, a 725-page Aspen Publications text, is a remarkable compilation of strategies, articles, how-to, and opinion which should prove to be the enduring core text for CAM integrators and would-be integrators. This definitive work manages to bring between two covers exceptional information from diverse, hands-on workers who are all leaders in the multi-stakeholder, integration undertaking - from research to coding, from network-based CAM coverage to hospital-based CAM delivery, from present utilization to a vision of optimal placement in a patient-centered system. For newcomers, Faass wisely includes a half-dozen sections on leading CAM modalities. Buy this one..."
