The PipelineRegister for Industry Webcasts, White Papers Case StudiesWhite Paper Abstract: Chronic pain can affect an individual’s life in more than one way. For instance, pain can wound a patient’s wallet at a cost of $500 to $30,000 annually. Pain can also create roadblocks in day-to-day life: many chronic pain patients lose an average of 4.6 hours per week, which costs employers $61.2 billion annually. To relieve the physical and fiscal suffering associated with pain, many healthcare organizations have implemented pain management programs. To discover how these programs work and who is using them, the Healthcare Intelligence Network conducted a non-scientific online survey in April 2008. In response, 186 organizations, including hospitals, nursing homes and health plans, shared their experiences with pain management programs.
