Leading Network of Pain Practices Offers Education and Support for Behavioral Health and Medication Management
FREDERICK, MD / ACCESSWIRE / July 10, 2023 / National Spine and Pain Centers (NSPC), the nation's leading network of minimally invasive spine and pain physicians, announces a new partnership with Sure Med Compliance, a digital healthcare company, to provide a new wellness app to keep up with progress of care and help patients stay on track with medication management.
The Perspectives in CareSM app by Sure Med Compliance is the first and only electronic patient-reported outcome (ePRO) platform that gathers key clinical and medicolegal insights from the patient in-between clinic visits and reports them back to the provider at the point of care. Sure Med's program helps identify patient risk and benefit, influencing safer prescribing decisions and mitigating risk to the provider by completing chart documentation.
"It is our mission at National Spine and Pain Centers to end needless human pain and suffering by facilitating world-class care. Our use of the Perspectives in CareSM app is a powerful and technology driven tool in our arsenal which will allow us to create the safest possible exposures to controlled substances for pain management patients," says Dr. Yesh Navalgund, MD, National Spine and Pain Center's Chief Medical Officer of Ambulatory Surgery. "Patient safety is a top priority for NSPC, and we're using everything at our disposal - including the most advanced software - to establish the best care possible."
- The Perspectives in CareSM wellness app works by asking patients questions about their health and how they're feeling, even when they're not at the doctor's office.
- This information is sent to NSPC affiliated doctors so they can use it during the next visit.
- Data collected by the app helps doctors understand the risks and benefits for each patient, which helps them make safer decisions when prescribing medications.
- It also helps doctors keep better records of their patients' information, which reduces the chances of mistakes or problems.
"The issue of managing medications cannot be ignored. Additionally, the limited availability of pain management services is contributing to the spread of illegally produced fentanyl, says John Bowman, founder and CEO of Sure Med Compliance. "Fortunately, NSPC affiliates are leading the way in finding solutions to increase access for those who truly need it, while also ensuring that powerful pain medications do not end up in the wrong hands."
