Published Date: Mar 1, 2022

Abstract

BACKGROUND: Pain costs more than $600 billion annually and affects more than 100 million Americans, but is still a poorly understood problem and one for which there is very often limited effective treatment. Electronic health records (EHRs) are the only databases with a high volume of granular pain information that allows for documentation of detailed clinical notes on a patient's subjective experience.
