In the United States, almost 1 in 5 adults experience chronic pain, which has been linked to dependence on opioids. The prevalence and severity of chronic pain is higher in Veterans, and Veterans are more likely to experience opioid overdose. In partnership with multi-level stakeholders, QUERI is deploying and evaluating implementation and quality improvement strategies to expand evidence-based pain care and treat opioid use disorders in Veterans.
