CONNECTS THE DOTS to Advance
EQUITABLE,
WHOLE PERSON,
MULTI-MODAL PAIN CARE
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.
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.
Moderators:
Robert Kerns, PhD, Yale University, Director, NIH/DOD/VHA Pain Management Collaboratory
Amy Goldstein, MSW, Director, AACIPM
