PainLink staff develop technical assistance packets (TA Packets) to assist PainLink Teams as they work on improving pain management in their institutions. TA Packets focus on orienting PainLink Teams and addressing common issues they encounter as they implement institutional change. TA Packets under development address common concerns, such as pain management and addiction. We welcome your ideas for additional TA Packets.
The following is a list of all the TA packets PainLink Members receive, and their contents.
