Quality of life (QoL) depends greatly on adequate pain management. Without sufficient care, patients dealing with chronic pain suffer in every station of their lives, ranging from personal to professional. Despite the importance of optimal pain management, health inequities persist. Following a pain management activity, 94% of learners recognized that pain intensity is underestimated in Black and Native American patients, compared to 35% in a pre-survey. These data demonstrate the value of starting at the groundwater level to build a foundation of knowledge on unconscious bias, myths, and disparities. Additionally, clinicians need to adopt new strategies to build trust with their patients and accurately assess social determinants of health (SDoH) which greatly impact outcomes for patients with chronic pain.
This live Q&A session is your opportunity to ask Drs. Peek and Vega questions based on the CME Outfitters Briefcase that focused health inequities in the pain management setting. To view the full activity ahead of this live Q&A, click here.
At the end of this CE activity, participants should be able to:
- Identify the impact of health inequities on pain management.
- Individualize treatment strategies that include assessment of SDoH to improve patient pain management outcomes.
