Abstract

Among the complaints that bring patients to see their physician, pain in its various manifestations is the most frequent. In spite of this, pain is often not adequately addressed or managed. The aim of this position paper is to present the viewpoint and recommendations of EFIC on the subject of pain management. Our overall objective is to encourage adoption by architects of healthcare systems in Europe and worldwide of a set of specific recommendations. Every patient is entitled to the implementation of these recommendations in a professional, accessible and timely manner.
