Summit Overview:
For Grace’s Change Agent Pain Summit: Part Two aims to convene California thought-leaders and luminaries (physicians, payers, administrators, policy makers, etc.) from various healthcare sectors that have a stake in pain management. Utilizing a focus group format, the Summit’s goal is to share ideas and best practices on how to optimize key recommendations from the NIH’s National Pain Strategy in the Golden State. We strongly believe the National Pain Strategy provides a remarkable blueprint for optimal pain assessment, care and understanding going forward – and it is our hope that the Summit will provide the spark for its implementation in California and beyond.
Summit Background:
In 2010, the National Academy of Medicine (formerly known as the Institute of Medicine) called for “a cultural transformation in pain prevention, care, education, and research.” In response to this call to action experts from the public and private sectors, including healthcare professionals, payers, advocates, and patients came together and developed the National Pain Strategy (NPS) which has been described as “a roadmap toward achieving a system of care in which all people receive appropriate, high quality and evidence-based care for pain.” This Summit responds to that call of action. We will focus on developing concrete strategies in four of the six key areas identified by the NPS: Prevention and Care, Disparities, Service Delivery and Payment, and Medical Education.

Summit Objectives:
1) Improve pain care for California’s six to seven million individuals challenged by chronic pain
2) Implement core recommendations from the National Institutes of Health’s National Pain Strategy in the Golden State
3) Promote the Integrative Pain Care model to decrease the burden of opioid use
Summit Participants:
The Summit Planning Committee has identified 26 key healthcare sectors that have a stake in quality pain management. Our invited California-based Summit participants will be thought-leaders and decision-makers within these sectors who will provide input, share best practices, create solutions and “cross-pollenate” to forward deliverable actions to implement the National Pain Strategy’s key recommendations. Bottom line – they’ll be change agents who desire a better tomorrow for Californians impacted adversely by chronic pain.
