Notes
Research/Clinical Practice Area: Jonas Veterans Healthcare Scholar – Rehabilitation
Dissertation: The subject of my capstone project is chronic pain. The current literature is conflicted as to the optimal reliable method or program to educate primary care providers on best management practices for patients and decrease the number of referrals to pain management. This lack of agreement among current providers impacts multiple facets of society because of the widespread issue of opioid addiction and subsequent deaths. Ensuring adherence with an evidenced based approach in the primary care management concerns of patients with chronic pain is within the translational skills of the DNP primary care providers. Engaging in crucial conversations with patients and families is paramount. Establishing specific, measurable, actionable, realistic, and timely (SMART) expectations will enhance the success of treatments. Promoting self-monitoring through motivational interviewing, and engaging patients in their own mutual care contracts will maximize appropriate management.
