Learning Objec8ves
1. Tell an overview of Pain Management Task Force.

Disclosure Statement
• Robert Kerns has no financial rela8onships with proprietary en88es that produce health care goods and services.
• Kevin Galloway has no financial rela8onships with proprietary en88es that produce health care goods and services.
Pain Management is a priority
• As many as 50% of male VHA pa8ents in primary care report chronic pain (Kerns et al., 2003; Clark, 2002)
• The prevalence may be as high as 75% in female Veterans (Haskell et al., 2006)
• Pain is among the most costly disorders treated in VHA se]ngs; total es8mated cost a^ributable to Veterans with low back pain was $2.2 billion in FY99 (Yu et al., 2003)
• Number of Veterans with chronic low back pain is growing steadily (Sinno^ & Wagner, 2009)

diagnoses with each health care encounter. The total may be higher than 899,752 unique Veterans because a Veteran can have more than one diagnosis and each is entered separately in this table.
