Patients and healthcare providers alike know that pain symptoms can vary depending upon a person’s injury, illness, general health, or state of mind. Therefore, to help each patient achieve effective pain relief, practitioners must:
1) accurately assess both the type and degree of pain being experienced, and
2) develop a responsive, individualized treatment plan. In addition, healthcare organizations must establish systems that enable and require providers to apply recommended, evidence-based clinical interventions uniformly to their practice of pain management.
