Description
One of our goals in healthcare is to help patients with acute or chronic pain achieve and maintain their maximum level of independence and wellbeing. Support of patient self-management of pain is a key component of effective chronic illness care and improved patient outcomes.
Stoplight tools help patients understand the severity of their pain to make an informed decision on whether to call the doctor of to call 911. Stoplight tools divide various signs and symptoms into green, yellow, and red management zones. Green indicates good control, yellow indicates caution and gives specific steps for action, and red indicates a medical crisis that requires a physician’s attention.
This Pain Stoplight Tool is based on the standards of care for pain management. It can be customized with your agency’s name and contact information. Available in English and Spanish. 50 sheets per pad
