Evidence-based, guideline-concordant, multimodal care is not accessible for many people, especially those who are underserved. Challenges to care include: 𝗠𝗶𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗰𝗲𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 & 𝗦𝘁𝗶𝗴𝗺𝗮: People with pain, and the clinicians who treat them, often face both hidden and obvious stigma from family, friends, coworkers, and the health care system. 𝗟𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝗼𝗳 𝗣𝘂𝗯𝗹𝗶𝗰 𝗔𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀: Pain is complex and quality pain care requires a solid understanding of all options within the pain management toolbox. This requires a culture change in which the patient’s various providers work together on a collaborative treatment plan and/or make adequate use of referrals when the patient may benefit from supplemental treatment. 𝗕𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗖𝗮𝘀𝗲 𝗗𝗮𝘁𝗮 𝗗𝗶𝘀𝗮𝗴𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁: Payors and providers often disagree about which models of care are both scalable and sustainable. To fully understand the effectiveness of patient-centered, multimodal pain interventions, it is imperative to analyze trials, comparative studies, healthcare utilization data, and cost analyses. 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗰𝗲 𝗦𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗹𝘆 & 𝗗𝗲𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗱: In addition to an overall provider shortage, there is an extreme shortage of licensed and certified healthcare providers that represent BIPOC communities. Further, there is inadequate training and interprofessional knowledge that keeps providers from understanding what it means to provide a multimodal, multidisciplinary approach to pain care. 𝗠𝗶𝘀𝗮𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗻𝗲𝗱 𝗙𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗜𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲𝘀: Value-based care requires creative adjustment to current payment structures. Fee-for-service can make access to a multimodal approach difficult, while bundled payment models may be unsustainable. Provider/Payor and other non-traditional partnerships are needed to increase access to a variety of evidence-based therapies. 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗴𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 & 𝗖𝘂𝗹𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗮𝗹 𝗜𝗻𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗲𝘀: Integration of conventional clinical care and complementary and integrative health is complicated. Differences in provider approaches can result from cultural barriers, and developing a collaborative pain care plan can be difficult when providers do not work within the same health system and/or use the same electronic health record system. All people should understand and have access to effective pain care options. This requires integration - electronically, culturally, clinically, and more. #RightCareAtTheRightTime #PainAwareness #PainAwarenessMonth #WholeHealth #IntegrativePainManagement #MultidisciplinaryCare #SolvePainTogether #IntegratedPainManagement

The 𝗕𝗶𝗼𝗣𝘀𝘆𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗦𝗼𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗠𝗼𝗱𝗲𝗹 is foundational to person-centered health care and pain management. To achieve a comprehensive approach to pain care, it is necessary to consider the whole person, and this is quite complex because it involves coordination among multiple clinicians and others involved in the care of pain. A full toolbox of options for pain care includes restorative therapies, complementary and integrative health, behavioral health approaches, medications, interventional approaches, and digital technologies. Achieving the #RightCareAtTheRightTime for individuals can be challenging and there are BioPsychoSocial factors that play a role in a person’s access to care, such as: 🔬 Biological factors (such as genetics, illness, metabolic health, nutrition, age, hormones) 💬 Psychological factors (such as trauma, stress, mood, isolation, coping) 🌎 Social factors (including stigma, transportation, housing, food security, environmental, and cultural) By acknowledging the connection between mind, body, and society, this model helps us create more effective, personalized health solutions. Most clinical guidelines recommend non-pharmacological, low-risk treatments as first-line treatment for pain. Our call to action is to build stronger connections and heightened awareness among stakeholders to improve access to the #RightCareAtTheRightTime for individuals with pain. #PainAwarenessMonth #IntegrativePainManagement #WholeHealth #IntegrativePainManagement #MultidisciplinaryCare #SolvePainTogether #IntegratedPainManagement
