Patients sometimes visit the emergency department (ED) to get immediate relief from migraine headaches, but often don’t follow up with a primary care provider (PCP) or headache specialist to develop a long-term management plan. Providers can work with patients to identify migraine triggers and create an effective treatment plan. The goal is to empower patients with the ability to control their migraine headaches.
We created a FAQ sheet, migraine action plan (MAP), and a migraine diary for providers to use in patient care. The handouts can be used by ED staff and other providers when they treat a patient for migraine headaches. Spanish versions are also available: FAQ, MAP, diary
Suggestions for improving the FAQ sheet, MAP, and diary are welcome and may be directed to the Premera Quality Program via email at qualityprogram-info@premera.com.
