I would like this information as well. We attempted to initiate PCA by proxy at our hospital for Comfort Only patients but could not get through all the red tape due to the hospital having a policy that does not allow this.

The information from Dr. Wiessman was very helpful.

There is another sample policy which includes proxy dosing, also on the CAPC/Tools/Clinical site:

Pain Management - Clinician Caregiver - Controlled Analgesia

David E. Weissman, MD
Professor, Palliative Care
Medical College of Wisconsin
Palliative Care Leadership Center
