Summary
This presentation will provide a timeline from investigating chronic pain issues within a primary care clinic through the launching of evidence-based interventions and treatments. Our goal is to help other teams initiate chronic pain identification, management, and therapy from a systemic model taking a step by step approach. This model allows clinics to devote the resources they have available to launch what is reasonable based on time, resources, and training. This presentation includes specific tools, workflow discussion, templates, and our Mindfulness-Based Pain Therapy model.
