Inventory of US hospitals and academic medical centres that integrate Reiki, Healing Touch, Therapeutic Touch, or related biofield therapies into their integrative-medicine programmes. Includes Cleveland Clinic, OHSU, Yale, Memorial Sloan Kettering, MD Anderson, Johns Hopkins, and many others.
Major hospital adoption sits ahead of definitive proof. The institutions in this dataset have integrated biofield therapies into specific clinical contexts (oncology supportive care, palliative care, pre-operative anxiety, post-surgical recovery) based on the moderate evidence base, the low cost, and the minimal risk profile of these modalities.
This dataset gives clinicians and patients a quick reference for where biofield therapies are integrated within established medical-system contexts. It is also a useful counter to the framing that biofield therapies are "fringe" modalities outside mainstream medicine.
