AIHM PRESENTS ?TRANSFORMING HEALTH CARE?, A COLLABORATION WITH ITN PRODUCTIONS
MARCH 12, 2018
In a unique communications partnership, the Academy of Integrative Health & Medicine (AIHM) and ITN Productions are producing a news and current affairs-style program investigating the developments, challenges, and achievements in the field of integrative health and medicine.
The program will also address a significant paradox facing the field: while there are an increasing number of integrative practitioners and medical professionals that embrace the concepts of integrative health, the reality is that many often operate separately from one another. Transforming Health Care will investigate effective practices and innovations that are driving interprofessional collaboration to ensure that all healthcare providers work collaboratively to deliver care that is truly patient-centered, empowering people to be involved in decisions that involve their health, with the belief that prevention is the best intervention.
Transforming Health Care will be an in-depth, online program featuring interviews, news items, and sponsored editorial profiles of leaders and key organizations. Drawing upon ITN?s 60-year heritage and expertise in news gathering and storytelling, the program aims to communicate to the medical community and broader public, the important work that integrative health practitioners, academia, the government, nonprofits, and other organizations are doing to advance the field of integrative health and medicine. The program will showcase the impact that integrative health and medicine is having on the quality of health care delivery and outcomes. Transforming Health Care will be premiered at AIHM?s Annual Conference held September 22-26, 2018 in San Diego, CA.
"AIHM is passionate about transforming the way we all think about health and health care. We are hoping that this program will raise awareness of integrative health and medicine, and inspire health care providers from all disciplines to work collaboratively to optimize patient health outcomes and reduce medical errors and adverse events."
Greg Melia, CAE, Vice President of Program Development for Industry News USA, said ?We are thrilled to be partnering with the Academy of Integrative Health & Medicine to spotlight how integrative health is making a positive difference in individual lives and the world.?
