SOLUTION

When integration is utilized in healthcare, it is a method defined by a high degree of collaboration between healthcare professionals and involves combining processes, procedures, and tools which facilitate integrated care. Integration also allows the exchange of information concerning pain among healthcare professionals to offer a comprehensive treatment plan which deals with all the biological, psychological, and social needs of patients. Members of the team are diverse and can involve the primary care provider, pharmacist, nurse, dietician, nutritionist, nursing aid, social worker, and other healthcare professionals depending on what a patient needs (Tortorella et al., 2020).
