Virtual Pain Care Management (COVID-19) (VCPM)
August 13, 2021 updated by: VA Office of Research and Development
Virtual Pain Care for High Risk Veterans on Opioids During COVID19 (and Beyond)
The COVID-19 pandemic is exacerbating the challenges faced by Veterans at risk of opioid overdose including Veterans prescribed moderate-to-high dose long-term opioid therapy (LTOT) whose usual treatment resources and coping strategies may be inaccessible.
This project combines established VA care components to deploy and evaluate virtual models of care for Veterans on high-risk LTOT to meet the dual challenges of maintaining social distancing and delivery high quality care.

---|---|
Other: VCPM
VCPM is a multi-component intervention consisting of already-established care processes and materials.
First, the patient is mailed or emailed (based on their preference) an informational packet prior to intake appointment.
Second, using the collaborative medication management model established in VHA,3 the intake appointment is led by the CPS using a standardized intake evaluation.
The CPS and physician design a plan presented to the patient.
If BUP switch is offered and accepted, the physician completes additional brief evaluations, including a history, medication review, treatment planning, and discussion of other VCPM components, using two-way audio-video visits (with telephone as a back-up).
