Transforming Hospice Care: The Power of AI and Innovation
The hospice care industry stands at a pivotal crossroads. As demand surges and resources strain, we face a critical question: How can we elevate care...
Do you know what impacts your star rating? Here's the top 4 tips regarding pain management.
1. Communication with the family
Focus on setting pain goals, discussing fears of addiction and hastening death, and also address potential adverse effects.
2. Getting help in a timely manager
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.
3. Treat patients with respect
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.
4. Train the family to care for the patient
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.
