The Pain Assessment and Management Initiative (PAMI) has created this video guide to simplify use of our virtual reality viewer to help ease pain and anxiety for pediatric and adult patients. Virtual reality has proven to be effective in reducing pain and anxiety during procedures, burn or wound management, in labor and delivery and in other settings. VR is helpful in patients experiencing acute and chronic pain.
The Pain Assessment and Management Initiative (PAMI) is a program established by the University of Florida College of Medicine –Jacksonville Division of Emergency Medicine Research and is funded by the Florida Medical Malpractice Joint Underwriting Association (FMMJUA). Established in 2014, the overall goal of PAMI is advancement of multimodal, safe pain management in healthcare systems to improve outcomes and reduce opioid risk.
