Addressing the Components and Complexities of Coordinated Care
Steven D. Passik, PhD
(Collegium Pharmaceuticals)
Has integrated pain care become collateral damage in the opioid epidemic? Have we been pitting medication (opioid and non opioid) approaches against behavioral and interventional treatments rather than striving for integration. If we are to help people realize the goals of pain therapy, we need a highly individualized and highly orchestrated approach that focuses on patients’ motivation as well their medical problems. And if a person requires opioids, how do we integrate them and apply appropriate risk management techniques and integrate those as well. These are challenges clinicians face every day. In this lecture Dr. Passik will apply his 25 years of clinical experience as a pain psychologist to attempting to answer these common questions.
