Discharge Planning Toolkit for Pain
The toolkit consists of an algorithm, a pain risk factor assessment form, 19 patient handouts and four educational videos.
As part of a comprehensive program, the Discharge Planning Toolkit for Pain provides a Discharge Algorithm for Pain Related Complaints. This algorithm assists providers in determining if the patient is safe for discharge; considerations for opioid addiction risk and OTC treatment options. The toolkit also provides educational handouts, which you can adapt for your own needs, and patient-friendly videos on managing pain. Finally, patients can review a helpful pain analogy from the American Chronic Pain Association called “A Car with Four Flat Tires.”
