New Pain Management Practice

Hi Maggie,

You are so kind and thanks for the quick reply . I am going a just a little nutty this week so I reeeeally appreciate the help. I believe I need a P&P for the clinical staff and the admin staff plus an employee manual. I believe the procedure center P&P is all done thank goodness. I listed what procedures we offer, but some of them don't happen too often. I hope that is exact enough... it my first manual.

Thanks for any help you can provide! You are too cool for school.

Dan do you have an email address that I can send the policies to? There are several and I have to send them individually. :typing Just let me know. Also just curious where is your clinic located? Maggie

Hi Maggie,

Thanks for your kindness. I work in Arizona. My email is dan.foley@cox.net. This will likely save me quite a bit of work and help me focus on other fires so please know that you are truly helping me out.

Take care,

Dan

I will send a few today and then check with you to make sure you are able to open them without any problems. I am not very good and may send some a couple of time if I get distracted here. Also I will send the procedures we do here and that will cover most of yours. If you have any problems just let me know. :wink2: Maggie

Hi Maggie,

You are the awesome-ist! (my own word)

Thanks again!

Dan

:imbar That is sweet, I wished someone had been there when I did these years ago but I am willing to spare the pain for others. I have sent some so please check to see if you can open them. :typing Most of the information can just be cut and paste to your policy header. Wishing you well, Maggie

If you guys are still sharing I would be interested in recieveing some information on your policies and procedures as well. I was just hired into a clinic that is lacking all of the above and I defiantely think that it would be helpfull. Please let me know! Thanks

Hello, well, i to am in the same boat. I have been given the task of developing a policy and procedure manual for our pain clinic. Clinic is fairly new so all is needed from A-Z. I as well as the staff would be ever so grateful if anyone can share what you can with me. This is turning into such busy task. Thank you in advance for all that you can help me with. Please email me.

Hi yall I too have just been given the task of writing a P&P for our Pain Clinic. We do medication management and intervenional procedures. Could anyone share what you have so far?
Thanks so much.

Hi.

Emerging Solutions in Pain (www.emergingsolutionsinpain.com) is a great web site for clinician resources. They have a section that you can visit from the home page that is devoted just to nurses (free CNE programs, FAQs, Resource Links, etc). Membership and programs are all free!

Under Tools tab (from home page), they have many forms for assessment and monitoring that you can use in a practice setting. Hope this information helps.
