Which aspect of patient care does the Meditech Pain Management module primarily address?

The Meditech Pain Management module primarily addresses the tracking and managing of patients' pain levels and treatment responses. This aspect is crucial because effective pain management is not solely about prescriptions or therapies; it's about continuously assessing how a patient is experiencing pain and how well the interventions are working.

Monitoring pain levels allows healthcare providers to make informed decisions about treatment plans, adjusting medications or therapies based on the patient's feedback and documented responses. This ensures that care is patient-centered, as it directly involves the patient in their pain management process, leading to better outcomes. The ability to track pain levels also contributes to the overall quality of patient care by providing data that can be used to evaluate the effectiveness of treatments over time.

While medication prescriptions, physical therapy scheduling, and patient education are important components of a comprehensive pain management strategy, they are secondary to the primary focus of monitoring and responding to the patient's current state of pain, which is the essence of what the Meditech Pain Management module aims to optimize.
