Pain care as a quality indicator for health care systems Pain is possibly the world's most common reason for initially using health care services: from the patient’s perspective: “if you are feeling pain, you go to the doctor”1 and from the perspective of the health care systems: “if you go to the doctor, you are most probably suffering from pain”. Pain is a major symptom in many medical conditions, significantly interfering with a person's quality of life and general functioning. As such expenses related to pain represent a significant proportion of total health care costs. Pain is the third most common healthcare problem after heart disease and cancer with large impact on quality of life and societal costs worldwide2. As the efficient management of “expensive” diseases, it is becoming of higher priority for strategic decision makers costs and pain-related health care outcomes are moving increasingly into the focus of budget holders and policy makers. Because of the high prevalence of pain, for many European health care systems pain treatment can be considered as an indicator to compare and assess the quality of their health care systems. This hypothesis leads to the following questions: • How are the demographics and dynamics of the insured population? • Which diseases generate significant costs? • Which costs are related to pain and pain therapy? • Where are possibilities for improvement of pain management? • How does the cost management approach of the health care system impact pain
care? • How does pain therapy correlate with the overall objectives of the health care
systems? While in most countries some very interesting projects have been initiated investigating the economic factors related to the burden of pain to patients and the society, the knowledge gained and management instruments developed locally are still sparsely shared amongst health care authorities and policy makers throughout Europe. The symposium “Societal impact of pain” intends to be instrumental in finding answers and sharing knowledge on these issues.

The Symposium “Societal Impact of Pain” This symposium aims to describe the problem and deliver the facts and issues around the definition, prevalence, demographics, quality measurement, cost and resources related to the impact of pain on society. Several studies focusing on the factors affecting the cost and quality of pain therapy will be presented and discussed. The different views and solutions will allow building a network on the issues related to the “Societal Impact of Pain” in the EU from the health care systems perspective. The two-days symposium will take place in Brussels in May 2010 and is organized by EFIC®, thanks to the support and sponsoring of Grünenthal. Approximately 100 strategic decision makers on pain-therapy-related issues and with responsibility for healthcare budgets from different European countries will be invited in order to discuss factors affecting the costs of pain therapy, benchmark indicators and future perspectives in workshops. The findings and results will be presented in both plenary sessions and in a publication of the proceedings. The scientific framework of the symposium has been realized under the responsibility of the EFIC®.

Workshop 1, Prevalence & epidemiology Measuring the magnitude of the problem In some cases pain may become intractable and develop into a condition called chronic pain, in which pain is no longer considered a symptom but an illness of itself. These cases often develop to having a high budget impact. Some sources estimate pain being one of the top 10 diseases impacting health care budgets. In order to make valid decisions regarding policy and budgets managers need to have a valid data base. This workshop aims to give an overview on the possibilities and short comings of the sources on prevalence and epidemiology currently available for strategic decision making on pain related budgets. Workshop format
• The target audience for this workshop will be epidemiologists, politicians, strategic decision makers and their advisers
• The format will be interactive with different key note speakers
• Following the key note presentations, a facilitated discussion will take place, taking each topic in turn and inviting the audience to come up with ideas and opinions on how to fill the gaps in knowledge and data
Workshop deliverables Based on the workshop, a symposium position paper will be produced that will cover:
• A description of the problem: the impact of chronic pain as a driver of healthcare costs, loss of quality of life and impact on society
• A proposal for next steps that need to be taken to make data available for decision-making
Draft program, “Societal impact of pain”, May 4& 5th 2010, Hotel Dolce La Hulpe, Brussels 24.03.2010 Page 17/29
Workshop 2, Evidence in pain therapy from a societal perspective How to generate evidence, relevant to budget holders and policy makers? For most treatments efficacy can be seen as a valid outcome. As pain mostly appears as a major symptom in many medical conditions, while being considered as highly subjective, pain related outcomes are often hard to translate in valid evidence for decision making by health authorities. The symptomatic and personal nature of pain makes it a challenge for health care authorities to reflect pain and its treatment in their decisions. This workshop intends to answer the following questions regarding evidence in pain therapy:
• How to assess the impact of pain on the Quality of life (QoL) of the individual patient and how pain relief really impacts on this?
• What evidence should be available in order to take policy decisions on the benefits of new pain therapies?
• Is it possible to combine the needs of registration and reimbursement authorities in the same clinical trial? Can registration studies also provide information on comparative benefits?
• Which outcome measures are needed and how to identify the right comparative treatment for pain?
• How can we capture the real benefits of new agents in terms of conventional HTA measures such as utility values?
• How to generate evidence from real practice in pain therapy which is important from a societal perspective?
Workshop format
• The target audience for this workshop will be health economists, budget planners, strategic decision makers and their advisers.
• The format will be interactive with diefferent key note speakers.
• Following the key note presentations, a facilitated discussion will take place, taking each topic in turn and inviting the audience to come up with ideas and opinions on how to fill the gaps in knowledge and data.
Workshop deliverables Based on the workshop, a symposium position paper will be produced that will cover:
• A description of the problem: the factors related to the availability and of evidence related to pain and pain treatment.
• A proposal to help authorities to include pain in future decision making.

Workshop 3, Impact of pain on the society Pain is not just a clinical or individually relevant problem. Beyond health policy pain plays a serious macro-economic role in our society, for example due to pain resulting in reductions in productivity, absenteeism and early retirement. At the same time acute pain, chronic pain and pain in palliative care are so present in society that authorities are frequently confronted with the need to take adequate decisions. The workshop "Impact of Pain on society" aims to investigate the broad range social implications of pain on society leading to strategic decisions, not only from a health policy perspective but also in other fields of politics like business, employment or social environment. Workshop format
• The target audience for this workshop will be authorities representing consumers and patients, politicians, health care decision makers and their advisers.
• The format will be interactive with different key note speakers representing various areas within society.
• Following the key note presentations, a facilitated discussion will take place, taking each topic in turn and inviting the audience to come up with ideas and opinions on how to fill the gaps in knowledge and data.
Workshop deliverables Based on the workshop, a symposium position paper will be produced that will cover:
• A multi perspective description of the problem: the impact of chronic pain as a driver of healthcare costs, loss of quality of life and impact on society.
• A proposal for next steps that need to be taken to make data available for decision-making.
Draft program, “Societal impact of pain”, May 4& 5th 2010, Hotel Dolce La Hulpe, Brussels 24.03.2010 Page 19/29
Workshop 4, Health economic models on pain treatment Health economic models on the functioning of the health care system and the private and social causes of health-affecting behaviours are a frequently used as a base for decision making. Few models for pain are available. This leads to a variety of questions like:
• How to measure the impact of pain therapeutic innovations in palliative care? • Can we learn from health economic models in pain from other areas include
extensive government intervention? This workshop aims to investigate the opportunities and possibilities of Health economic models in pain therapy. Workshop format
• The target audience for this workshop will be health technology authorities, purchase managers and policy makers.
• The format will be interactive with different key note speakers representing different angles of using health economic models in pain.
• Following the key note presentations, a facilitated discussion will take place, taking each topic in turn and inviting the audience to come up with ideas and opinions on how to fill the gaps in knowledge and data.
Workshop deliverables Based on the workshop, a symposium position paper will be produced that will cover:
• A description of the challenge: how can health economic models be useful for decision making in pain related issues?
• A statement to the usefulness of health economic models in pain.

Workshop 5, Cost related to pain Chronic pain and the measurement of its impact on healthcare and society Pain is a symptom that accompanies many diseases. As such pain is often treated in the context of these co-morbidities. In most EU-countries decision makers on health care budgets usually do not have access to robust data showing the societal impact of pain. Pain and chronic pain as such are seldom reflected in the health care budgets and policy making. The lack of attention to the management of cost and translation of quality outcomes related to pain potentially leads to an under estimation of its consequences for the quality of life of patients, its contribution to the healthcare budget and its impact on society. This workshop intends to initiate a discussion on the costs related to pain and pain management that policymakers need to be fully aware of in order to develop rational and effective healthcare strategies. The objective of the workshop is to reach consensus on what data is relevant for policymakers and how to make this data available to decision-makers. Examples of topics that will be discussed are3, among others:
• direct costs of interventions and therapies • direct costs that are incurred as a result of ineffective interventions • costs to health service, patients and their families due to lack of appropriate
facilities • costs resulting from inappropriate self-medication and treatment • costs of treating and preventing adverse events • costs of disability claims resulting from people’s inability to work • costs to economy of reductions in productivity and absenteeism • costs of providing social care and support to people suffering with pain (e.g. costs
of home care and respite care) • costs of informal care provided by families (e.g. loss of earnings) • costs of intangibles associated with deterioration in the QOL of patients and their
families • …….. any other relevant costs
Workshop format
• The target audience for the workshops will be policy makers and key decision-makers who are actively involved in health care management projects.
• The format will be interactive with different key note speakers presenting projects and/or case studies relevant to the topic of the workshop.

Workshop 6, Light house projects (“best practice”) Large scale longitudinal data on pain outcomes available to decision makers and policy makers are rare. In several countries projects have been initiated aiming to gain insight in the issues related to pain and costs caused by pain. These are expected to deliver the facts and figures like prevalence, demographics, quality measurement, cost and resources related to the impact of pain on society. This workshop intends to share the insight of some light house projects in order to create a platform for sharing “best practices”.
Workshop format
• The target audience for this workshop will be policy makers and health care managers planning to initiate or actively being involved in health care management projects focussed on pain.
• The format will be interactive with different key note speakers representing different light house projects in retrieving and analysing longitudinal data related to pain.
• Following the key note presentations, a facilitated discussion will take place, taking each topic in turn and inviting the audience to come up with ideas and opinions on how to fill the gaps in knowledge and data.
Workshop deliverables Based on the workshop, a symposium paper will be produced that will cover:
• A description of the challenge: how can data available be utilized for decision making in pain related issues?
• A statement to the usefulness of longitudinal data for strategic decision making in pain..

About EFIC The European Federation of IASP chapters (EFIC) is a multidisciplinary professional organization in the field of pain science and medicine, made up of the 34 European Chapters of IASP (International Association for the Study of Pain). Established in 1993, by Prof. Ulf Lindblom, the EFIC® represents 34 countries and close to 20.000 scientists, physicians, nurses, physiotherapists, psychologists and other healthcare professionals across Europe, who study pain and treat patients in pain. Mission Statement The European Federation of IASP Chapters (EFIC) was formed by the presidents of the European Chapters at a joint meeting held at the time of the World Congress on Pain, in Paris in August, 1993. Aims The objectives of the EFIC® are in general those of IASP, i.e. to promote research, education, and the clinical management of pain. The specific aim is to create a forum for European collaboration on pain issues and to encourage communication at a European level between IASP Chapters, and also with other bodies interested or involved in the fields of pain research and therapy such as the European societies or federations of medical specialities (anaesthesiology, neurology, headache, palliative care etc.), institutions of the European Community, European and national educators and legislators. Examples of pain issues that may be dealt with by EFIC:
• The epidemiology of acute and chronic pain in Europe. • The availability of pain treatment facilities. • The interface between patient needs and treatment facilities. • The recognition of differences in therapeutic strategies and pain education within
Europe. • The harmonisation of such differences. • Review of existing curricula and plans for training of pain specialists • (it might be desirable to develop a European academy to accredit pain
specialists, possibly by examination). • Setting standards for diagnosis and treatment of chronic pains of different types
and mechanisms. Constitution The affairs of EFIC® are conducted by its Council, which consists of the Presidents of the European IASP Chapters, and five elected officers who form the Executive Board. The Council meets once a year while the Board manages affairs between meetings. EFIC® is established as a charitable foundation in Belgium.

EFIC's position in relation to IASP The bylaws of the IASP (section V) provide that national Pain Societies and Associations may constitute Chapters of the IASP in their country. The EFIC® acts as a European grouping of these Chapters of the IASP, so that they may work together while allowing for the socio-cultural diversity of Europe. Many of the societies have a large percentage of members who are not members of IASP; they are, none-the-less, members of EFIC® and will benefit from the wider perspectives offered by a trans-national organisation. Specific programmes EFIC® co-operates in the organisation of Congresses, such as those in Verona, Italy, in May 1995 in Barcelona, Spain, in 1997, in Nice, France in 2000, in Prague, Czech Republic in 2003, in Istanbul, Turkey 13-16 2006, Lisbon, Portugal in 2009 and upcoming in Hamburg, Germany in September 21-24 2011. EFIC® produces an electronic newsletter which is distributed by an email database list to the Chapters and to all their members and is available on the website and is involved with the production of the European Journal of Pain. Under EFIC® auspices, Task Forces are working on aspects of pain research and management, and their findings will be used to improve education and training throughout Europe.
