77: Behavioral Patterns of Individual Patients | Dr. Derek Clewley

Today, we are looking at large data sets, from a population standpoint, asking if there are ways we can figure out why people actually seek out healthcare and solutions to their pain. We welcome Dr. Derek Clewley, from Duke University, who has been researching behavioral attributes towards healthcare services. His goal has been to use this information to predict healthcare utilization, which, of course, can help us to better understand and serve patients with persistent pain.

Derek, Tim, and Jeff discuss Derek’s findings and how we can understand where the patient is coming from, what their expectations are, and what their experiences have been. They’ll discuss how we measure these findings and ensure we’re utilizing correct comparisons so we can best treat our patients.
