ForwardCare Managing patients with Chronic pain and Behavioral Health
Behavioral Health nurse care managers and social workers (BHCM) who provide Collaborative care management services in the community are challenged in the management and assessment of patients who have chronic pain in conjunction with behavioral health. As of the result this puts limits on the consulting psychiatrist and billing providers care plan recommendations and results in delayed or inadequate treatment.
This activity will equip nursing and social work team members to provide a holistic assessment of patients with chronic pain. It will guide patients to the right resources, at the right time and activate new tools and skills to address their bio-psycho-social needs. This activity will help reduce the burden that is placed on providers at UPMC whom are left to manage a population that is lacking in resources.
