Ophelia and Vori Health partner to improve access to high-quality, safe opioid use disorder (OUD) care services for patients suffering from chronic pain and opioid addiction as well as people in recovery who are looking for opioid-free MSK care.
As the healthcare industry shifts to more value-based and patient-centered care, the issue of access to medical services has surfaced as a critical concern for many Medicare Advantage plan members. To bolster Star ratings in the coming years, MA plans must take swift action to implement solutions that improve access to needed care—especially when it comes to treating back and joint pain.
In honor of Pain Awareness Month and Opioid Awareness Day, Vori Health and Ophelia are teaming up to spread awareness of the connection between chronic pain and opioid addiction. Opioid-related overdose deaths have more than doubled in the last six years. The trend is expected to continue, especially as many patients with opioid addiction have struggled to access FDA-approved medications for treatment such as buprenorphine.
Value-based care initiatives can only be sustainable if patient outcomes are a top priority. By carefully assessing the impact of solutions on patients, the healthcare industry as a whole can work towards reducing the cost of care while delivering meaningful value.
Low back pain affects millions of people worldwide and is projected to continue to grow as a leading cause of disability. This increase in prevalence rates leads to a negative impact on employee well-being, workplace productivity, and healthcare utilization—creating significant harm to an employer's bottom line.

To drive change, employers and payers must understand the scope of the issue, bringing the right care to those who have waited decades for relief.
The COVID-19 pandemic caused healthcare system strain, leading to shortages and delays in elective surgeries. Orthopedic surgeries, like knee and hip replacements, were impacted the most.

The explosion of internet accessibility opened doors to endless opportunities for learning and discovery. However, what began as an effort to improve healthcare literacy grew into what we now know as “Dr. Google”—a search-engine-based framework fueling self-diagnosis.
Musculoskeletal (MSK) conditions are the top causes of physical disability around the world and can impair function at any stage in life. But as the risk of developing muscle and joint pain increases with age, older adults make up a disproportionately large part of the affected population.
As the tides of healthcare shift to value-based care, Integrated Practice Units, or IPUs, are having a moment in the spotlight and for good reason. Studies show they can improve outcomes for a spectrum of clinical conditions from Parkinson’s disease to back pain.

While 2021 may have been labeled the year of the “Great Resignation,” 2022 proved to be a more volatile year for employers across the nation. Over 50 million employees quit their jobs in 2022, topping 2021’s record-breaking resignation rate by nearly 3 million employees—and this trend is only expected to continue. Now more than ever, employers must evaluate the key internal forces pushing their employees to either stay in their current roles or leave in the hopes of finding a better position.

As the tides of healthcare shift to value-based care, Integrated Practice Units, or IPUs, are being viewed with increasing interest and optimism. And for good reason. Studies show this model of healthcare delivery—which brings an interdisciplinary care team together under one roof to treat a specific medical condition—can drive value for a spectrum of clinical conditions from low back pain to Parkinson’s disease.
