Abstract

Chronic noncancer pain (CNCP) is, and continues to be, a global problem that affects people with multimorbidity. The objective is to comment on the gap in Chile in integrating multimorbidity and CNCP in the real practice context despite the advances in public policies and local evidence revealed. Therefore, a pilot is responding to this problem by implementing an approach to incorporate into a multimorbidity comprehensive approach the assessment of CNCP and adding nonmedical services. It is expected to evaluate its impact on the performance of the health system, as well as on people.
