Bad Breadth: The Role of Bias, Stigma, and Social Determinants in Pain Care

Faculty Kevin L. Zacharoff, MD, FACIP, FACPE, FAAP

UAN 0530-0000-21-308-L08-P
Rx hours 0.0

What might be “the holy grail” of modern pain education involved? Management of chronic pain that incorporates pain ratings, functional impact, and the patient’s individualized narrative, bringing about a more successful outcome and increased patient satisfaction. We may not think about things that potentially influence pain treatment outcomes and adherence like “personal devaluation” or “invalidation”—examples of internalized stigmas that patients with chronic pain all too often experience. Coupled with implicit and explicit biases that healthcare professionals and patients may bring to the clinical encounter, the matrix of chronic pain management may be more complicated than we think. This session will identify, explore, and confront common biases, stigmas, and social determinants of health that frequently go unnoticed, undetected, and unaddressed in the pain assessment process and treatment plan formulation. These may negatively impact patient adherence, treatment success, and patient and clinician satisfaction.

CE/CME and Accreditation

This activity is provided by Global Education Group.

Target Audience

The educational design of this activity addresses the needs of frontline clinicians: physicians, nurses, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and pharmacists involved in managing acute and chronic pain.

Statement of Need/Program Overview

Whether you're in a hospital or office-based practice, chronic pain patients are everywhere—and YOU are absorbing the burden of their care.

A just released report by the National Institutes of Health outlines positive steps that practitioners can take in response to the burgeoning problem of prescription medication abuse and to provide more effective pain management care to their patients. Key among these is access to pain education, and by participating in a PAINWeek Premiere Conference, you'll improve your skills in medication risk evaluation and mitigation, in pain assessment and diagnosis, and in the delivery of individualized multimodal treatment.

The Premiere agenda is purposely constructed for the busy clinician, delivering a full day of relevant, practical information, together with the opportunity for interaction and exchange with faculty and fellow attendees.

Pain Management for the Main Street Practitioner has been created to streamline the clutter of information on assessment, evolving guidelines, risk management, and changing reimbursement scenarios. Join us for a day of clinical and practice management CE/CME designed expressly for frontline clinicians. Participants can receive 2.0 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™ as they expand their capabilities in the assessment, diagnosis, and management of chronic pain conditions.

Learning Objectives

  • Describe the potential negative impact that bias, stigma, and social determinants of health can have in the assessment and treatment of pain
