2 Dear Primary Care Practitioner, Thank you for referring your patient with chronic pain to one of our CPM centres for assessment and/or treatment. I would like to highlight some of the benefits our centres can offer you and your patients. Centralized Intake Process: We have a Centralized Intake Process to standardize screening of each referral. This process ensures that all required information for the consultation has been received. The efficiency of this process helps us to see your patient on a timelier basis. Timely Assessment of Sub-Acute Pain: The earlier a patient with pain is treated, the more likely a successful outcome will occur. Painful conditions treated within the first 3-6 months using a multimodal approach have the highest chance of full recovery. Patients with pain for more than 18 months can typically expect some reduction in pain and improvement in the quality of life, but it is unlikely their condition will be resolved. We therefore try to prioritize patients with sub-acute pain. Timely Access to Multidisciplinary Treatments: Our goal is to provide comprehensive, caring, chronic pain management whenever possible. Many components of multidisciplinary care are not funded by OHIP. CPM will provide the Stanford-based, 6-week, Chronic Pain Self-Management Program to all CPM patients at no charge. For patients with supplemental health coverage, we can provide other elements of comprehensive care: exercise, massage, cognitive-behavioural therapy, and nutrition counselling etc. For patients without coverage we may refer to community and online resources. ew patient referrals to CPM will be prioritized based on: a. The need for a one-time consultation vs. a period of active care b. Duration of the painful condition c. Extent of 3rd party coverage Telephone Consultation: We offer the option of a brief telephone consultation, to better support primary care practitioners (PCPs) whose patients might have to wait to be seen at our centres. This is now a funded service in the OHIP Schedule of Benefits both for the referring and consulting physician. It is suitable for a patient with chronic pain, where there are a small number of specific questions to help the PCP continue ongoing treatment. A specific 1-page referral form can be sent at your request. You can also request telephone consultation patients currently under the care of a CPM physician. We continually strive to improve our service offerings to referring physicians and patients with pain. Please contact our central intake staff if you have any questions or concerns about referring your patients to CPM.
