PCP Provider Attitude Changes

Changing behavior begins with changing beliefs

The Provider Attitudes and Beliefs Survey is a measure of the clinician's perceptions about musculoskeletal pain and how well these align with current evidence.

Many clinicians have a biomedical view of pain, which has contributed to the runaway costs and poor outcomes in spine care, including the opioid crisis.

A biopsychosocial view is more consistent with prevailing evidence, and results in more appropriate care. 

Spine Care Partners training helps transition clinicians away from a purely biomedical view and toward a biopsychosocial view.  

Our data demonstrate that this transition consistently occurs as a result of the training.
