Quizz de la douleur : faisons le point

Caring for pain is an integral part of health care. All health care institutions, irrespective of their specialty, and all health care givers, are involved. Much has been accomplished since the first official text published in 1995 with significant advances is patient management practices. Care for pain now focuses on quality of care and patient dignity. Official regulations have evolved in 2006: directives concerning the terminally ill, a new charter for the hospitalized patient taking into consideration changes since the law was promulgated in March 2002 and the new anti-pain plan.
