Collaborative Care Symposium 2017 Title: Emerging Practices on Collaborative Care Management of Chronic Pain: Equipping Primary Care and the Community to Manage an Epidemic Goal: On June 14, 2017, an in depth conversation with thought leaders in chronic pain and collaborative care from experienced on the ground practitioners, academicians, and community leaders and policy makers will occur at this invitation only all-day symposium. The symposium will focus on evidence and emerging best practice approaches to support primary care providers in three main areas of pain management: 1. Prevention of transition to chronic pain 2. Treatment of chronic pain 3. Addressing complications (addiction) Why Important: Washington State has led the nation on curbing the opioid prescribing epidemic and is now focusing on innovations to address chronic pain at a population level. Chronic pain is debilitating for patients and overwhelming the current health system. Aligning efforts across the spectrum of chronic pain — from prevention to management, including addiction in the context of chronic pain — requires systems-based approaches grounded in evidence-based care coordination. Evidence indicates that appropriately resourced primary care achieves the best outcomes at the best value. Takeaway: Common framework for community action on the prevention and adequate treatment of chronic pain, including addiction in the context of chronic pain.
