Using the <i>KISS<\/i> guidelines, he developed an algorithm for treating patients beginning with the simplest and least invasive methods and working his way through to more complex treatments.\u00a0 The essence of the <i>KISS <\/i>method, according to Dr. Krames, was to establish effective treatment of chronic pain through trial and error.<\/p>\n<p>The fallacy with these guidelines, however, was that efforts with all less invasive treatment methods must be exhausted before moving onto a more interventional approach. With time, Dr. Krames discovered more considerations to be employed in his algorithm. These more contemporary guidelines accept the notion that some treatments are not only more appropriate than others, but also safer, more effective and more financially feasible despite their greater degree of invasiveness. This eventually led him to develop the S.A.F.E. Principles; S &#8220;\u201c Safety, A &#8220;\u201c Appropriateness; F &#8220;\u201c Fiscal neutrality; a very interesting point to consider; E &#8220;\u201c Effectiveness.<\/p>\n<p>In his article, he quotes Peter Drucker, legendary management consultant, educator, and author, &#8220;Efficiency is doing things right; effectiveness is doing the right things&#8221;\u009d.\u00a0 He emphasized that treatment should be constructed upon a best-overall basis. I highly recommend that all clinicians involved with interventional pain management read Dr. Krames&#8217; article found in the Journal of Neuromodulation.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/hartleymedical.com\/knowledge-center\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-1266\" src=\"https:\/\/hartleymedical.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/knowledgecenteronlysmall12-300x39.jpg\" alt=\"knowledgecenteronlysmall\" width=\"300\" height=\"39\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hartleymedical.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/knowledgecenteronlysmall12-300x39.jpg 300w, https:\/\/hartleymedical.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/knowledgecenteronlysmall12-1024x135.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Another great 2013 NANS meeting presentation was by Dr. Elliott [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[156],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.4 -
