Home care pain management

Living with severe or chronic pain can affect every aspect of your life. However, help is available. At Advocate Health at Home, our compassionate, highly trained nurses, pharmacists and other specialists work with your doctor to develop a treatment plan to reduce pain and improve function.

Advocate Health at Home offers therapies that may be included in your pain management treatment plan, including medication therapy.

Home infusion therapy for pain management

Oftentimes, pain-related medications must be administered through an IV, called infusion therapy. We work with you and your doctor to provide the medication delivery system that works best for you and your condition. Services include:

• Coordinate pain management therapy at home with a 4-hour turnaround from receiving a physician’s order
• Continually assess the effectiveness of treatments and monitor patients for signs of adverse reactions
• Communicate regularly with physicians regarding your pain levels and recommend treatment changes if needed
