Join us Thursday, August 1, at 3 pm PDT for the the launch of the webinar series --> Understanding Chronicity in Workers' Compensation: Part 1 ⭐ Register https://lnkd.in/gMcbh6X3 Institutes Of Health is proud to present this 3-part series focused on chronicity in workers' compensation. Our objective is to provide workers’ compensation stakeholders with a comprehensive understanding of the impact of chronicity in chronic pain conditions, such as traumatic brain injuries (TBI), and Post Traumatic Stress Injuries (PTSD) through the lens of the advanced biopsychosocial model. Participants will better understand chronicity, its impact on recovery, and how it affects these complex conditions and prolongs disability. The discussion will highlight the importance of viewing and treating these conditions as chronic rather than acute/subacute issues and integrating evidence-based biopsychosocial approaches in treatment to achieve better outcomes within the workers’ compensation system. LEARNING OBJECTIVES 💡Define chronicity and its characteristics, including how it impacts the disease course and prolongs medical dependence. 💡Understand the statistical prevalence of chronic issues related to chronic pain, mild to moderate TBIs, and PTSD. 💡Explain the advanced biopsychosocial model and its application in chronic health conditions. 💡Recognize how chronicity interferes with recovery and impacts the long-term management of these conditions. 💡Identify key elements of successful treatment, emphasizing resiliency, self-efficacy, and self-management.
