Taking Interdisciplinary Pain Management into Primary Care

How does this ECHO work?

Participants will join an interactive online video conference twice per month. The interdisciplinary panel includes clinicians in pain management, behavioral health and pharmacy. Together with a team of experts, participants will:

  • Improve outcomes and reduce risk of harm for people with chronic pain through an interdisciplinary model of pain care.
  • Use their understanding of pain as a complex phenomenon to identify, educate and treat patients using a bio-psycho-social approach in an interdisciplinary team
  • Utilize multi-modal evidence-based tools including physical therapy/behavioral health/non-opioid medication to manage pain
  • Utilize relationships and resources in the community to help manage pain for those in their care
