New Pain Research Study Results Reported from Weill Cornell Medicine (Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly: an untapped setting for research to advance pain care in older persons): Health and Medicine – Pain Research

2024 MAY 02 (NewsRx) -- By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Insurance Daily News -- New study results on pain research have been published. According to news originating from New York City, New York, by NewsRx correspondents, research stated, “The Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE) is a community-based care model in the United States that provides comprehensive health and social services to frail, nursing home-eligible adults aged 55 years and older.”

Our news editors obtained a quote from the research from Weill Cornell Medicine: “PACE organizations aim to support adequate pain control in their participants, yet few evidence-based pain interventions have been adopted or integrated into this setting. This article provides a roadmap for researchers who are interested in collaborating with PACE organizations to embed and evaluate evidence-based pain tools and interventions. We situate our discussion within the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR), a meta-theoretical framework that considers multi-level influences to implementation and evaluation of evidence-based programs. Within each CFIR domain, we identify key factors informed by our own work that merit consideration by research teams and PACE collaborators. Inner setting components pertain to the organizational culture of each PACE organization, the type and quality of electronic health record data, and availability of staff to assist with data abstraction. Outer setting components include external policies and regulations by the National PACE Association and audits conducted by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, which have implications for research participant recruitment and enrollment.”

According to the news editors, the research concluded: “Individual-level characteristics of PACE organization leaders include their receptivity toward new innovations and perceived ability to implement them. Forming and sustaining research-PACE partnerships to deliver evidence-based pain interventions pain will require attention to multi-level factors that may influence future uptake and provides a way to improve the health and well-being of patients served by these programs.”
