Closing the gaps in pain management

How coordinated, personalized care helps advance treatment of chronic pain in your community.

Making a difference for nursing home residents

More than half of residents in nursing homes suffer from chronic pain. Yet multiple studies over the years indicate it remains largely undertreated.

That’s where the Optum care model and the UnitedHealthcare® Nursing Home Plan come in. We oversee every aspect of resident care, helping to fill the gaps and ensure that pain is properly diagnosed and treated.

Read the white paper to learn how we can help make a difference in residents’ lives.

Key takeaways

  • Pain management is challenging because there’s no clear way to measure it
  • Choosing the best treatment is complex because many nursing home residents have multiple chronic conditions
  • Making sure pain is being properly evaluated and treated requires a coordinated and personalized approach
