ForwardPAINWeek 2024 Digital All Access
PAINWeek remains the US pain conference with the most expansive curriculum providing practical knowledge and tools for healthcare professionals managing acute and chronic pain. Attendees will be able to engage in education that fosters safe, effective, and equitable pain management and treatment practices in clinical practice by providing evidence-based and rigorously tested clinical medical education from expert, experienced, and adequately credentialed medical professionals.
PAINWeek Digital All Access is an online library featuring 80 hours of credit from the live PAINWeek 2024 conference. This allows a learner to:
- Earn CME/CE credit hours at your convenience
- Learn anytime, anywhere, from any device
- Access courses you were not able to attend at the live event
- Access courses if you were not able to attend the live event
Target Audience
This activity is designed for an audience of physicians, physician assistants (PAs), nurse practitioners (NPs), nurses, pharmacists, hospitalists, psychologists, and other healthcare professionals involved in pain management.
Learning Objectives
After participating in the PAINWeek 2024 Digital All Access, learners should be better able to:
- Identify sources of pain via physical and neurological examinations, laboratory tests, imaging, electrodiagnostic procedures, and appropriate psychological assessments.
- Select the appropriate methodology to evaluate chronic pain, including physical exam, clinical history, and work-up.
- Describe and apply comprehensive pharmacological and non-pharmacological pain management and treatment options for various conditions that are characterized by acute, episodic, and chronic pain symptoms.
- Employ safe, effective, and equitable pain management and treatment strategies in clinical practice.
- Employ safe and appropriate evidence-based pain management strategies in patients with multiple chronic pain conditions to minimize the risk of drug-to-drug interactions (DDIs), polypharmacy effects, and substance use disorders (SUDs).
- Employ safe and appropriate evidence-based pain management strategies in patients with multiple comorbidities.
- Recognize implicit biases in clinical practice that may impede the optimal management of pain and patient outcomes.
- Implement interprofessional team strategies for improving care coordination and communication to advance chronic pain care and improve outcomes.
- Cite current medical/legal issues impacting pain management, including updated CDC guidelines, and the ethics of consensual/nonconsensual opioid tapering.
- Analyze the potential impact of artificial intelligence (AI) integration in healthcare, with a focus on its role in pain assessment. Evaluate how AI can address biases in subjective assessments by exploring its applications in various physiological indicators such as voice, facial expressions, and brain waves.
- Evaluate the challenges and opportunities of utilizing AI technology in subjective disease states like pain management. Examine how AI can enhance objectivity in pain assessment, potentially improving patient outcomes by reducing provider-related biases and disparities in care.
- Investigate the ethical considerations around using AI to mitigate biases based on race, gender, and social class in healthcare, and discuss the implications of shifting towards more objective assessment methods in improving care equity.
- Evaluate the potential implications of integrating artificial intelligence (AI) into medical practices, specifically focusing on acute and chronic pain care.
- Explore the theories behind AI creation and technologies such as language analysis and facial recognition in predicting illness. Critically analyze whether AI reinforces or mitigates biases related to race, gender, social class, and sexual orientation in healthcare settings.
- Examine the ethical considerations surrounding the implementation of artificial intelligence in pain assessment and medical decision-making. Discuss the concept of bias propagation versus elimination when computers replace human judgment and compassion. Consider the challenges and opportunities in leveraging machine learning technologies ethically to ensure fair and consistent care across diverse patient populations.
- Critically analyze whether artificial intelligence has the potential to exacerbate existing healthcare disparities or contribute to more equitable care delivery.
- Explore the complexities of algorithmic decision-making in pain assessment and discuss strategies for ensuring that AI integration in healthcare practices aligns with ethical principles and values of fairness and inclusivity.
- Engage in a thoughtful discussion with fellow participants to identify potential benefits and drawbacks of artificial intelligence (AI) in pain assessment. Share personal perspectives and experiences to explore how AI may impact equity and outcomes for disadvantaged groups in healthcare.
- Participate in interactive activities such as audience polling, group discussions, and sessions to delve into the ethical implications of AI integration in subjective disease states like chronic pain. Collaborate with peers to generate ideas on harnessing the power of AI for improving patient care while addressing biases and disparities.
- Contribute to a group consensus on the role of artificial intelligence in eliminating bias and enhancing outcomes for disadvantaged groups in pain assessment. Reflect on best practices for implementing AI in acute and chronic pain care and discuss strategies for leveraging AI technology ethically to promote fairness and inclusivity in healthcare practices.
