PSPS Training Webinar: Expanding Opportunities to Treat LSS Patients Earlier & More Often with PILD
September 2, 2020- GoToWebinar
This educational activity has been a Joint Collaboration between Pacific Spine & Pain Society (PSPS) and Dannemiller Healthcare Education
Intended Audience
The PSPS Training Webinar will unite pain practitioners from the Pacific States (California, Hawaii, Arizona, Nevada, Oregon, Washington and Alaska). Our goal is to present cutting edge information to practitioners of all levels and provide a forum for hands on demonstration and troubleshooting of medical devices and interventional options for chronic pain. The goal is to demonstrate best practices to improve the quality of care and treatment outcomes for chronic pain patients.
Learning Objectives
As a result of participating in this webinar, attendees will be able to:
- Evaluate patients to determine appropriate candidates for PILD
- Use safety and efficacy data to understand where PILD fits in the lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS) treatment algorithm
- Understand basic tenants and advantages of the technique
- Apply best practices for forging relationships with surgeon colleagues to help more patients
Statement of Need
Pain management and Interventional pain management are quickly growing fields in medicine. Emerging science and treatment options for patient care are growing rapidly and it is important for clinicians specializing in this field of medicine to know, understand and evaluate available options to be able to continue to provide the best treatment options and quality of care for patients. It is vitally important for clinicians to understand best practices and practice guidelines to insure that they are offering the best care, remaining in compliance to lessen exposure and liability while still insuring access to care and the best treatment outcomes for patients.
