New rules require most American hospitals to measure and record pain as a vital sign. The regulation is designed to address the longstanding criticism that doctors and other health care providers under-treat their patients’ pain. A panel talks about the latest finding on pain management and its role in the treatment of short- and long-term illness.

Guests

  • Dr. Veronica Mitchell Director of pain management services at Georgetown University Hospital
  • Susan McBeth Joint Commission on Accreditation of Health Care Organizations
  • Jim Guest Of the American Pain Foundation
