Abstract
In general, the invention is directed to a user interface for patient pain assessment. The user interface allows an operator to input and store a patient'"'"'s pain assessment based on a given pain assessment scale. The invention may tranmit the pain assessment data along with patient physiological condition data to a remotely located hospital database. As part of the patient'"'"'s medical record, pain assessment measurements can provide trending information similar to most physiological condition data, which may be useful for future treatment. The invention may prompt the operator with suggestions for treatment based on the pain assessment and physiological data collected. In some embodiments, the user interface may be applied to a defibrillator or a patient monitor.
