Piette JD. Computer algorithm for targeting support to VA patients with chronic back pain. 2016 Sep 30.



Abstract:

As part of our ongoing IIR-funded study, we have developed computer algorithms that will allow VA therapists to identify which patients with chronic back pain need additional costly therapy sessions, and which patients can be maintained with automated calling support or brief booster contacts.
