Chronic pain is a common health concern in the United States, particularly among people dually eligible for Medicare and Medicaid. However, clinicians face challenges in treating pain in a manner that meets the needs and preferences of people experiencing pain. While opioids are commonly prescribed to treat acute and chronic pain, there are ongoing considerations surrounding their risks and benefits. Inappropriately treated pain may result in the increased use of illicit drugs and other substances to help relieve pain, substance-use disorder, as well as increased suicide risk.
In treating chronic pain, it is important for providers and health plans to adopt pain-management strategies that are person-centered, tailored to each individual, and that optimize health, function, and quality of life. Experts recommend that pain management be integrated, multimodal, interdisciplinary, evidence-based, and individualized, in keeping with the biopsychosocial model of pain. Health plans and providers may also need additional strategies for adequately addressing pain needs due to the increased challenges posed by COVID-19, including less access to pain-management treatment, increased stress and isolation, and increased substance use to address untreated pain.
This panel will discuss non-opioid pain-management strategies for dually eligible individuals, including effective, person-centered pain management options; challenges health plans and clinicians face in providing effective chronic pain-management support; and strategies for addressing pain needs during the COVID-19 pandemic.
By the end of this panel discussion, participants should be able to:

Social determinants of health are defined by the World Health Organization as "the conditions in which people are born, grow, live, work, and age." For rural populations, many of these elements are less favorable than within urban areas. Building on work conducted by the Rural and Minority Health Research Center, this presentation will review some of the key elements associated with health across rural White and minority populations, such as education, income, and health facility availability.

PCC Executive Members and invited guests are welcome to join us for the PCC’s 2020 workshop. This half-day session will bring together PCC Executive Members along with state leaders, policymakers, and advocates to explore the next wave of state-level efforts to measure and set targets for levels of primary care investment.
Through panels, virtual peer networking and small group discussions, the workshop will highlight best practices and provide space for attendees to connect across regions and stakeholder types and discuss shared agendas for advancing investment in primary care in 2021 and beyond. See the tentative agenda.
This year’s workshop will also include the release of the PCC’s 2020 Evidence Report that tracks primary care spend over time nationally and across all 50 states.
For PCC Executive Members: As a benefit of your membership, the cost to attend the workshop is free when you register for the PCC’s 2020 Virtual Annual Conference, which is taking place on the two days before the workshop (November 30 and December 1). However, there is a limit of two staff members per Executive Member at the workshop. Executive Members will not be allowed to register to attend the workshop alone. You must register for each event separately; registering for one event does not automatically register you for the other. (Check to see if your organization is a PCC Executive Member.)
Non-PCC members: Cost is $100. You are encouraged to attend the virtual annual conference before the workshop (November 30-December 1). The workshop is designed as a hands-on application of the topics that will be addressed during the conference, a way to chart a course of action in states in the conference topic areas.
Workshop registration is limited to 125 total participants.
