The policy requires meeting the following criteria:
For the introduction of this policy there was an awareness campaign, coordinated by the Senior Advisor-Nursing (SAN). It is believed that because the SAN is a Therapeutic Touch™ practitioner, reception was enhanced within the organization. The SAN has been asked to make presentations on numerous occasions to: multi-disciplinary groups, physicians, nurses, registered nursing assistants, patients and others. The SAN has also been consulted by staff throughout the organization (within the hospital and community) to give TT treatments to patients (mainly those with chronic pain) with positive results from the patients' perspectives. All of these treatments have been recorded on the progress notes on the patients' charts. A list of Therapeutic Touch™ practitioners (RN's and RNA's) is presently being collected in order to ensure treatments may occur in a timely fashion should requests be made. Catherine Aquino-Russell, RN, MN was the Senior Advisor-Nursing of the South-East Health Care Corporation in Moncton, New Brunswick. She has left that position and is now living in Jahcarta
