Abstract

The Pulido Coates Pain Patient Compliance Protocol and Scale (PPCP-S) is an easy to manage process for practitioners to determine if opioid medications are causing addictive behaviors which endanger both your patient’s health and your right to practice pain management. Based upon the results of 2100 administrations in 8 separate licensed pain management environments, our studies indicate upwards of 60% patient non-compliance. Pain Patient Compliance Protocol and Rating Scale is designed to medically document your patients health risks for opioid compliance and demonstrated the practitioner’s intent to comply with opioid screening requirements by their medical Board. We have designed an insurance reimbursable protocol built around thousands of patient visits which have demonstrated even in the most well intentioned pain patient management applications upwards of 60% non-compliance or misunderstanding of the practitioner’s treatment plan. The result for you and your patients are: Escaping letters of probable cause from state medical board for you, effective pain relief with reduced health risks for your pain patients, proactively avoiding state and federal regulatory infractions by your pain management clinics, flagging patients with opioid-related addictive behaviors prior to prescribing pain management medications and revenue enhancements via additional easily implemented clinical treatment programs for non-compliant patients.
