Do you know what impacts your star rating? Here's the top 4 tips regarding pain management.
Focus on setting pain goals, discussing fears of addiction and hastening death, and also address potential adverse effects.
When getting pain medication to a patient in need, it is more than offering physical comfort; it can also be about easing anxiety. For the best pain management, work to cut delivery times from days, to an hour or two.
Listen to the patient’s wishes for their pain management and have a pharmacy partner that can aid to accommodate what they are asking for.
Have tools on-hand to help educate the family and teach them what to expect if pain increases, what to do in case of an overdose, and also teach them about the different types of pain.
The BetterRX team offers a variety of tools to make your team more successful. Some of these items include: hands-on onboarding (in-person or virtual), thoughtfully put together Think Pieces that help to address common questions and concerns, Case Studies and so much more!
