INTRODUCTION: Chronic pain is a public health concern, and in the last decade, there has been a dramatic increase in the use and abuse of prescription opioids for chronic non-cancer pain. METHODS: We present an overview of a five-component model of pain management implemented at the University of Washington Division of Pain Medicine designed to facilitate recent state guidelines to reduce the risks associated with long-term use of prescription opioids. RESULTS: Central to the model described are guidelines for best clinical practice, a collaborative care approach, telehealth solutions, comprehensive prescription-monitoring, and measurement-based care. DISCUSSION: The model presented is a patient-centered, efficient, and cost-effective approach to the management of chronic pain. Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
