Chronic Pain Initiative
CCNC and Project Lazarus:
Chronic Pain and Community Initiative
Community Care of North Carolina (CCNC), in
conjunction with non-profit organization Project
Lazarus, is responding to some of the highest drug
overdose death rates in the country through its
Chronic Pain Initiative (CPI).
Goals
 Reduce opioid-related overdoses
 Optimize treatment of chronic pain
 Manage substance abuse issues (opioids)
What is the Chronic Pain Initiative?

A set of interrelated programs designed to improve the medical care
received by chronic pain patients, and in the process, to reduce the
misuse, abuse, potential for diversion and overdose from opioid
medication.
Key program components:
Clinical
Community Focus
Primary Care Physician Toolkit
Take only your own medications
Emergency Department Toolkit
Keep medications in a safe place
Care Management Toolkit
Education on dangers of opioids
Network CPI Champion
Model is based on proper assessment, diagnosis, and treatment plan with
Pain agreement as necessary
Why are we looking at replication?

Evidence exists that the Wilkes County approach is changing conditions in ways
that will reduce misuse, abuse, diversion and overdose from prescription opioids.

Changes in how medical professionals manage chronic pain patients and monitor their prescription
use.


Change in opioid prescribing policy and practice within ED of Wilkes Regional Medical Center

Increased access to Naloxone and understanding of when and how to use

Pill take-back days

Community awareness, coalition building for community education
Reduction in unintentional poisoning deaths, especially those stemming from
narcotics prescribed by providers based in Wilkes County

Key Ingredients in Chronic
Pain Initiative


Establishment (or prior existence) of a community coalition that is able to develop
and implement effective strategies to reduce substance use

A sense of urgency among local actors who have influence

Dedicated manager of the coalition with skills in process and content
Appropriate strategy for achieving a change in prevailing medical practice re:
treatment of chronic pain patients (PCP and ED locations)

Tailored to local conditions

Includes education on the extent of the problem in the community and the role of
providers in limiting supply and opportunities for diversion

Includes useful tools that providers can adopt (e.g., Medication Agreements, guidelines
for proper script writing)

Explicit recommendations for hospital policies that limit dispensing of narcotics
(especially to ED patients)

Take advantage of leverage points in larger environment (e.g., CSRS, Medicaid lock-in
policy)
Key Ingredients in Chronic
Pain Initiative

Makes effective use of various partners in carrying out strategies
including but not limited to:
 Public health department – multiple strategies
 County Medical Director – to reach physicians and ED
 Medical providers – to change their own practice and educate other
providers
 Pharmacist – to other pharmacies in community
 Law enforcement
 Schools
 Behavioral Health, Prevention and Treatment Programs and
Organizations

PCP or specialty services

Provide care management for patients identified by PCP practice as CPI
patient; consider pharmacy lock-in program

Ongoing care management for Medicaid patients with narcotic prescriptions
above threshold pain patients via TREO data

Educate PCPs and providers in utilization of Chronic Pain Tool Kit

Can coalitions help
reduce Rx drug abuse?
 Counties with coalitions had 6.2% lower rate of ED visits for
substance abuse than counties with no coalitions (but this
could be due to random chance)
 However, counties with a coalition where the health
department was the lead agency had a statistically significant
23% lower rate of ED visits (X2=2.15, p=0.03) than other
counties
 In counties with coalitions 1.7% more residents received
opioids than in counties without a coalition.
 Coalitions may be useful in reducing the harms of Rx drug
abuse while improving access to pain medications at the same
time.
 More professional coalitions may have a greater impact on
reducing Rx drug harms.
