(155) Personalized Activated Care and Training: A PACT with Patients to Prevent Chronic Pain and Addiction

PURPOSE: The Institute of Medicine states that a health professionals ’ primary role for chronic pain should be guiding, coaching, and assisting patients with day-to-day self-management.  However, providers often lack the time and training to perform this role, and there is limited research on self-management approaches. We propose providers use a transformative ca re model that integrates robust patient training with evidence-based treatments using tele-coaching and technology to improve long-term outcomes and health chronic pain.
