Pain Management Utilization and Quality Management

Utilization Management
CareCore Pain Management provides utilization management of pain services. Using evidence-based pathways that conform to national standards of care, the program pre-authorizes pharmacologic and non-pharmacologic pain management procedures.

CareCore Pain Management employs a comprehensive monitoring and reporting program designed to track and identify inappropriate utilization and practice patterns.

Continuous Improvement Program (CIP)

CareCore Pain Management's Continuous Improvement Program links utilization management with quality management to ensure better care for patients.  CIP is a quality management program that focuses on ensuring that physicians and facilities administering pain services are properly licensed, credentialed and meet nationally accepted standards of care. CIP components include physician and facility credentialing, privileging of procedures and board certification requirements.
