This presentation aims to identify the current pitfalls in the United States healthcare model when treating chronic pain due to obesity in the inpatient and outpatient healthcare settings, and to replace them with sustainable solutions in the fields of nutrition, physical rehabilitation, wellness and pharmacotherapy. By creating a system to identify eligible patients in the inpatient setting, implementing the aforementioned sustainable solutions, and coordinating patients to an outpatient provider for long-term follow-up, this may reduce hospital admissions, improve chronic pain, reduce opioid utilization, and improve patient quality of life.
