Where clinical and everyday measures come together to tell the whole story
COHERENT
thinking about pain requires access to more information than can be obtained from lab tests or clinical examination. Experiential questions of mental and emotional well-being, daily functioning, and subjective assessment of pain inherently belong to us as individuals, and will always be expressed using widely varying vocabulary and be gathered with a broad range of tools. On the other hand, understanding the cause and evaluating pain treatment requires us to think about these personal measures in combination with traditional clinical data. How will they come together? Care providers and consultants think about integration of systems, but patients think about integration of knowledge. We want to understand what’s going on in our minds and bodies using the best information both inside and outside the healthcare setting.
TRUE COLLABORATIONS
between clinicians, patients, family members, and caregivers to support people in pain will occur when patient-provider visits are finally documented in encounter-summarized case reports, and integrated with machine learning around population comparisons. These types of comparisons provide rapid and valuable insights into the factors that determine real-life drug and treatment efficacy.
