IPRO ECHO: When the Pain Won’t Stop: Whole Person Care Addressing Chronic Pain
Chronic Pain is a complex issue that is never solely biological. In this series we explore chronic pain from the biopsychosocial perspective. The three domains of chronic pain are: biological (e.g., tissue damage, inflammation); psychosocial (e.g., thoughts and emotions affect pain, memories of pain; social/sociological (e.g., socioeconomic, gender, ethnicity, isolation).

IPRO QIN-QIO Opioid Utilization Dashboard
The IPRO QIN-QIO Opioid Utilization Dashboard is an interactive tool in Tableau that shows geographic comparisons at the state and county levels of de-identified Medicare Part D opioid prescriptions filled within11 states and the District of Columbia in the IPRO QIN-QIO network. We also provide information on the concomitant use of benzodiazepines and opioids. Our goal is to support your efforts, as an organization or a community partner, in improving opioid prescribing practices.

Joy in Work
Executive Summary
With increasing demands on time, resources, and energy, in addition to poorly designed systems of daily work, it’s not surprising health care professionals are experiencing burnout at increasingly higher rates, with staff turnover rates also on the rise. Yet, joy in work is more than just the absence of burnout or an issue of individual wellness; it is a system property. It is generated (or not) by the system and occurs (or not) organization-wide. Joy in work — or lack thereof — not only impacts individual staff engagement and satisfaction, but also patient experience, quality of care, patient safety, and organizational performance.
This white paper, published by the Institute for Healthcare Improvement (IHI), is intended to serve as a guide for health care organizations to engage in a participative process where leaders ask colleagues at all levels of the organization, “What matters to you?” — enabling them to better understand the barriers to joy in work, and co-create
meaningful, high-leverage strategies to address these issues.
The white paper describes the following:
* The importance of joy in work (the “why”);
* Four steps leaders can take to improve joy in work (the “how”);
* The IHI Framework for Improving Joy in Work: nine critical components of a system for ensuring a joyful, engaged workforce (the “what”);
* Key change ideas for improving joy in work, along with examples from organizations that helped test them; and
* Measurement and assessment tools for gauging efforts to improve joy in work.
