Exploring PM&R’s Place in Future Models that Support PM&R’s Vision: MSK Care, Pain, and Spine

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The session began with the presenter acknowledging the challenges of transitioning to a virtual format. They expressed appreciation for the ability to attend sessions on their Peloton, reducing sleep deprivation and weight gain. The presenter then provided an overview of PM&R BOLD, a strategic effort focused on the future of physiatrists. They discussed the vision for physiatry, emphasizing the essential role of physiatrists in the evaluation, management, and prevention of neuromuscular and disabling conditions. They also highlighted the importance of physiatrists in optimizing outcomes and function throughout the continuum of care. The session included a panel discussion with experts in musculoskeletal care and pain and spine rehabilitation. They discussed the future of musculoskeletal physiatry, emphasizing the close collaboration with primary care and the focus on non-emergent musculoskeletal medicine. They highlighted the importance of patient-centered care, cost-effectiveness, and multidisciplinary teams. The panelists also discussed the potential for innovative payment models, such as bundled payments and capitated payments. They addressed questions about reimbursement for regenerative medicine and the use of registry data for evaluating outcomes. Overall, the session provided insights into the future of physiatry and the efforts to improve and expand the field's impact in musculoskeletal care and pain management.
