Pain Collaborative to Advance Equitable Value-Based Solutions

Pain Collaborative to Advance Equitable Value-Based Solutions. Expediting access to quality whole health care for the millions of people living with pain. Our mission is to expedite access to quality whole health care for individuals living with pain by fostering meaningful collaboration among diverse stakeholders and promoting innovative, equitable, and evidence-based solutions. We envision an Ecosystem that recognizes the interconnectedness of pain and well-being across all dimensions of health – physical, mental, emotional, social, spiritual – and one that embraces equity and innovation, as well as promotes healing, function, and quality of life for all. We are leaders, innovators, catalyzers for change, and subject matter experts who agree that deeper collaboration will expedite access to quality pain care. The participants represent people with lived experience, caregivers, health care providers and administrators, employers, health systems, public and private payors, industry, academia, and government. We uniquely connect key stakeholders and experts involved in comprehensive pain care so they can learn from and inspire one another. We identify gaps in our shared work, develop resources collectively, nurture deeper collaborations, and promote innovation and progress. We purposefully bring together diverse perspectives and take the time to discuss important topics and action steps that will expedite access to whole health, value-based care for all. Currently, our deliverables for 2024 include: -Development of a musculoskeletal pain resource designed for patients (e.g., employees) and payors (e.g., employers) that is being created collectively among our stakeholders and also in coordination with Prudential. -A collective social media campaign in September that aligns the focus of our stakeholders. During this month, we will touch on the timing of Pain Awareness, Self Care Awareness and Suicide Prevention months.
