Statement of Intention for Pain Management

• As a community of holistic nurses at St John Hospital &Medical Center, we will safely manage our patient's pain with a non‐judgmental approach using allresources available.  We will be mindful of our patient’s unique pain experience and advocate for care thatfacilitates comfort and healing.

• (St John Hospital & Medical Center Professional NursePractice Council 2014)

HCAHPS“During this hospital stay, how often did the hospital staff do everything they could to help you with your pain?”

PC.01.02.07 The hospital either treats the patient’s pain or refers the patient for treatment.Note: Treatment strategies for pain may include pharmacologic and nonpharmacologic approaches. Strategies should reflect a [patient]‐centered approachand consider the patient’s current presentation, the health care providers’ clinical judgment, and the risks and benefits associated with the strategies, including potential risk of dependency, addiction, and abuse.
