Minimum Standards of Care

Aether2000 · Apr 27, 2018

If a pain organization adopted "minimum standards" that conflicted significantly with your long proven and safe practice of medicine and was based on majority opinion rather than scientific studies, what would your responses and concerns be? (Poll above, may select more than one response)

Disavow the pain organization, for their “standards” are not founded in science.

I am open to change if new evidence and arguments convince me. I would not change just because of the organization.

I'm getting and loving the emails. I have no soapbox there.

majority opinion does not outweigh quality evidence based medicine.

Hypothetically, of course

Minimum Standards of Care

If a pain organization adopts "standards" that are significantly contrary to your medical practice-

I would adopt the standards for the good of the profession

I would adopt the standards since the leaders of the organization have studied the issues

I would fear such standards would be used against me in medmal, peer review, or med board situations

I would fear board members would use such standards in expert witness testimony in cases against me

I would ignore the standards and continuing practicing the way I do

I would leave the organization
