Abstract

Purpose To understand the impact of integrative medicine (IM) therapies on patients receiving care at BraveNet practice-based research network (PBRN) via longitudinal collection of patient-reported outcomes. Previously, the BraveNet PBRN conducted a cross-sectional study including over 4,000 patients receiving clinical care at the 9 IM clinics, which comprise the Bravewell Clinical Network and BraveNet PBRN. This effort provided important information about patients receiving care at these IM clinics as well as the type of medical condition and IM treatments patients were receiving.
