INNOVATION AND PROGRESS
AACIPM launched a new series on Innovation and Progress in recognition of September as Pain Awareness Month.
Our focus is to connect the dots to advance equitable, whole person, multimodal, integrative pain management. This series will include panel discussions, interviews, and resources that explore some cutting-edge innovations related to pain care with a particular focus to support those interested in integrating more complementary and integrative health (CIH) and behavioral therapies into their practice, payment designs, and policies.
Realities, Research & Rethinking
Person-Centered, Integrative Pain Management
Wednesday, January 25, 2023, 11:30-1:00PM CDT
Most stakeholders agree that a person-centered, multimodal, integrative approach to pain care is best practice – and most clinical guidelines recommend that a non-pharmacological treatment should be tried first. Yet, this approach to care remains elusive for many people based on numerous pain realities. This webinar brings together perspectives from people with pain, research, clinical practice and payers to discuss innovation and progress in their field and how to keep people with pain at the center of this care.
The first session in this series, “Innovation in Advancing Equitable, Whole Person, Multimodal Pain Care,” focused on advancements in multimodal pain care from the perspective of public and private insurers, industry, healthcare providers, and people with pain. We will discuss new data and evidence that highlights equity imbalance, and related opportunities to address these challenges.
