The committee called for coordinated, national efforts of public and private organizations to create a cultural transformation in how the nation understands and approaches pain management and prevention.&nbsp; <\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"margin: 0in 0in 0pt\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div style=\"margin: 0in 0in 0pt\"><span style=\"color: #333333\">Some of the recommended changes can be implemented by the end of 2012 while others should be in place by 2015 and maintained as ongoing efforts. <\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"margin: 0in 0in 0pt\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div style=\"margin: 0in 0in 0pt\"><span style=\"color: #333333\">Dr. Follett, who is professor and chief of neurosurgery at UNMC, was one of 19 members on the committee that developed the report. He was the only neurosurgeon on the committee.<\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"margin: 0in 0in 0pt\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div style=\"margin: 0in 0in 0pt\"><span style=\"color: #333333\">The report was mandated by Congress as part of health care reform legislation. Sponsored by the <a href=\"http:\/\/nih.gov\/\">National Institutes of Health<\/a> (NIH), it was conducted over a nine-month period. <\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"margin: 0in 0in 0pt\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div style=\"margin: 0in 0in 0pt\"><span style=\"color: #333333\">&quot;Chronic pain is a huge problem,&quot; Dr. Follett said. &quot;It affects more people than heart disease, cancer and diabetes combined and costs more to manage than any of these diseases. It has truly become a public health issue for our country.&quot;<\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"margin: 0in 0in 0pt\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div style=\"margin: 0in 0in 0pt\"><span style=\"color: #333333\">Health care providers, insurers, and the public need to understand that although pain is universal, it is experienced uniquely by each person and care &#8211; which often requires a combination of therapies and coping techniques &#8211; must be tailored, Dr. Follett said.&nbsp; <\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"margin: 0in 0in 0pt\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div style=\"margin: 0in 0in 0pt\"><span style=\"color: #333333\">Pain is more than a physical symptom and is not always resolved by curing the underlying condition, he said. Persistent pain can cause changes in the nervous system and become a distinct chronic disease.&nbsp;People&#8217;s experience of pain can be influenced by genes, cultural attitudes toward hardships, stress, depression, ability to understand health information, and other behavioral, cultural, and emotional factors.&nbsp; &nbsp;<\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"margin: 0in 0in 0pt\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div style=\"margin: 0in 0in 0pt\"><span style=\"color: #333333\">Successful treatment, management, and prevention of pain require an integrated approach that responds to all the factors that influence pain, Dr. Follett said.<\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"margin: 0in 0in 0pt\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div style=\"margin: 0in 0in 0pt\"><span style=\"color: #333333\">The majority of care and management should take place through primary care providers and patient self-management with specialty care services reserved for more complex cases, Dr. Follett said.&nbsp;<\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"margin: 0in 0in 0pt\"><span style=\"color: #333333\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"margin: 0in 0in 0pt\"><span style=\"color: #333333\"><\/p>\n<div style=\"margin: 0in 0in 0pt\"><span style=\"color: #333333\">The report&#8217;s recommendations include:<\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"line-height: normal;

text-indent: -0.25in; margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.5in\"><span style=\"color: black\">&middot;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <\/span><span style=\"color: #2f2f2f\">Medicare, Medicaid, workers&#8217; compensation programs, and other public and private health plans must find ways to cover interdisciplinary pain care, as current reimbursement systems are not designed to efficiently pay for this kind of approach and health care organizations are not set up for integrated patient management.&nbsp;<\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"line-height: normal;
