Our patients who experience chronic pain are enrolled into our Partnership Program for Pain Managment. Our goal is to work with the patient to manage their pain so that patients can live as normal and productive a life as possible. Patients will meet for the first time with the nurse, who will collect a complete history of the injury or illness causing the chronic pain, the patient's current medication history, and enroll the patient in the Pain Management Program. The nurse will review the Partnership Plan for Pain Managment, that outlines the patients personal goals for pain reduction and medication use. Alternative strategies for the relief of pain are also reviewed. Patients will be asked to sign a Medication Use Agreement, describing the patient's rights and responsibilites in using medication for pain management. Our patients meet monthly with either the nurse or a provider to review their pain management plan and, if necessary, renew their medication prescriptions. For additional information - |
