Vision

Goals

• READINESS: Maintain readiness of personnel by ensuring proper plan of care is given to each patient.
• PEOPLE: Staff will be trained and well-rounded to provide patients with great healthcare and customer service.
• QUALITY: Maximize patient satisfaction by providing quality care.
  • To maximize privacy in the consultation and treatment areas, only the patient will be allowed in those areas.
  • If the patient is unable to communicate effectively with the physician or provide an adequate history, a family member or caregiver's presence may be necessary; a patient authorization designating said family member/caregiver's presence must be included in the patient's record.
  • Otherwise, if a patient wishes to have a family member present, he/she may ask the physician; then his/her presence is allowed at the physician's discretion.

Child Policy

• Children under 12 years of age must have adult supervision.
• Children may not be in the treatment room during patient exams.
• In no cases will unattended children be allowed in the Pain Management Clinic waiting area.
• Appointments will be rescheduled for patients with unattended children.
