Abstract The article aims at reconstructing how pain is used in contemporary societies in the process of engraving power. Firstly, a social phenomenological analysis of pain is conducted: Husserl’s and Merleau-Ponty’s ideas are used for clarifying the experience of pain itself; Elaine Scarry’s analyses are overviewed in order to reconstruct how pain contributes to the establishing of power. Secondly, this complex approach is applied in early modern context: the parallel processes of the decline of a transcendental and the emergence of a medical interpretation of pain is introduced, along with the marginalization of violence. Thirdly, the era characterized by the triumph of medical pain management is analysed: it is argued that the constitutive role of pain in establishing power does not cease to exist with the emergence of technologies of discursive governance (Foucault); it is an open question, what sort of power is engraved through pain understood in strictly medical frames.

Abstract Background: Medical Interpretation Services (MIS) is the gold-standard that should be used during clinical assessments with patients who have limited English proficiency (LEP) or have hearing loss. The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the urgent need for clear, concise medical communication between patients and clinicians to prevent the spread of COVID-19 and ensure public safety. Cost of MIS is covered by the provincial health authority in Alberta; however, it is not consistently utilized across the province.Aim: To implement digital MIS in the Emergency Department (ED) of one urban teaching hospital, improving accuracy of clinical assessment and to provide patient-centered communication. Methods: Applying quality improvement methodology, an intervention comprised of digital MIS technology and education was trialed for 6 months. To assess intervention effect, the number of MIS minutes and calls were measured monthly and a questionnaire was developed and administered to determine ED healthcare providers’ awareness, technology accessibility and perception of MIS integration into the clinical workflow. Results: Digital MIS was utilized consistently in the ED from the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic (March 2020) and over the subsequent six months. The cost avoidance due to digital MIS usage was estimated to be $19,612.16. ED healthcare providers indicated that digital MIS helped smooth communication with patients and reduced the time it took to gather and provide accurate information. Conclusion: Providing digital MIS access, education and training is a means to advance health equity, by improving accuracy of clinical assessment and patient-centered care in the ED.
