Description: An estimated 100 million Americans experience chronic pain, more than diabetes, coronary heart disease, stroke and cancer combined. The total combined cost of direct medical care, disability programs, lost productivity and family burden is estimated to be between $560 billion and $635 billion annually (AAPM, 2015). In the midst of the opioid epidemic, there is a greater need now more than ever for
evidence-based, effective, non-pharmacologic treatment approaches to this human, social and economic crisis. Interdisciplinary functional restoration programs provide the necessary components to address the biopsychosocial drivers of chronic pain. In this webinar, clinicians from Shirley Ryan Ability Lab¡¯s Pain Management Clinic will discuss the roles of each individual member of their interdisciplinary team in providing patients with strategies for self-management of chronic or high-impact pain, while ultimately working together in a patient-centered approach to restoring function and reducing opioid consumption.

Objectives: Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:

• Describe and differentiate active versus passive approaches to chronic
  pain management
• Identify risk factors for chronic pain, and describe treatment approaches and/or prevention strategies to utilize in acute or subacute pain management to avoid the pathway to becoming a chronic problem.
• Describe and differentiate functional restoration programs versus pain management clinics
• Delineate the roles of pain psychology, physical therapy, occupational therapy, biofeedback and vocational rehabilitation within an interdisciplinary functional restoration program
• Identify underlying research that drives an evidence-based functional
  restoration program
• Determine when to refer patients to an interdisciplinary program for
  pain management
