High-Impact Chronic Pain: Interprofessional Teams Needed (8:30am to 12:30pm)

High-Impact Chronic Pain (HICP) interferes with work or other daily activities most days or every day. It affects 11-20 million US adults.
People who have HICP are vulnerable in life and as they seek healthcare services. They often suffer from iatrogenic harms including (but
not limited to) prescription-induced opiate use disorders. We are convening experts from a variety of professions to discuss the
healthcare experiences of people with HICP and the evidence on what works to reduce iatrogenic harms and promote health.

Andrea Alexander, FNP a George Fox University Professor of Nursing, will share her experiences as a primary care clinician (PCC) caring
for people during the prescription opiate crisis. Paul Coelho, MD a HICP expert & physiatrist at Salem Health will discuss HICP &
behavioral health. He will share the evidence on HICP & discuss how he promotes health while de-prescribing opiates. Nora Stern, MS, PT
Know About Pain Director & Oregon Pain Management Commission, Chair will review open-source patient-facing resources developed to
support people with HICP.

Psychologists, Patti Robinson, PhD co-founder of the evidenced-based Primary Care Behavioral Health (PCBH) model & Focused
Acceptance & Commitment Therapy , Kimberly Swanson, PhD Behavioral Health Director at Mosaic Healthcare & Julie Oyemaja, PsyD IPC
Institute founding director will dialogue with each other & the audience about integrating behavioral health clinicians (BHCs) into primary
care & specialty pain teams in support of people who have HICP.

Jeff Houck, PhD, PT & Daniel Kang, DPT, PT George Fox University Physical Therapy Professors will discuss the feasibility & clinical utility
of Patient-Reported Outcome Monitoring System (PROMIS) to enhance primary & specialty care and to give voice to vulnerable people
like those with HICP. They will also discuss efficient methods to & the benefits of integrating PTs into primary care teams.

Participants will learn how to implement...
❖ Interprofessional practices for supporting people with HICP in primary care.
❖ Measurement strategies to identify those who have HICP & monitor clinical changes over the course of care.
❖ New strategies, resources, tools based on the best evidence to protect & improve the care for people who have HICP.

Interactive Interprofessional Clinical Team Experiences (1:30pm to 3:30pm)
Participants will be assigned to diverse interprofessional teams facilitated by IPC Institute leaders. Teams will develop whole person care
plans for fictitious cases leveraging the capacities of each team member. Quality improvement & implementation science methods &
concepts will be integrated into this interactive clinical experience by Florence Gerber, MBA Quality Director IPC Institute.
