Tools and Techniques for Engaging the Chronic Pain Patient

Marilee Donovan, Ph.D., R.N., regional pain management coordinator for Kaiser Permanente Northwest, discusses the tools and techniques that Kaiser Permanente Northwest have implemented to help improve the communication and concepts involved in treating a chronic pain patient. Tools and techniques can be used to make it easier to do the right thing. We use best practices, and they're available online in our EMRs. To the extent possible, the medical record is linked to the Best Practice Resource and reflects what the physician is doing with the patient during that particular visit. We also do everything possible to improve communications and be safe and accurate.

Poll Reveals Public Attitudes on Substance Abuse, Treatment and Recovery Prospects

Nearly half of American adults report knowing someone in recovery from the use or abuse of alcohol or drugs, according to survey results by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA).

The CMS rule guides states who wish to allow Medicaid beneficiaries who need help with the activities of daily living to hire, direct, train or fire their own personal care workers. Beneficiaries could even hire qualified family members who may already be familiar with the individual's needs to perform personal assistance (not medical) services.
