This study tracks the establishment of a single hospitalbased integrative medicine center. Although some factors clearly worked in favor of the center, the hospital had few models to guide it and no experience in creating such a clinic. Thus, it made many decisions in the areas of administration, finance, and legal issues that created barriers to the center's success, and the center was ultimately closed.
This report presents the results of a five-year study of a hospital-based center for integrative medicine (IM). The objective was to identify the barriers to and facilitators of developing and implementing IM programs.
