The CARD™ system (Comfort, Ask, Relax, Distract)
CARD™ is a patient-centred approach to health care delivery that improves the experiences of patients, families and providers. Each letter (C-A-R-D) includes evidence-based activities that staff and patients can use to reduce fear, pain and other stress-related responses (such as dizziness, fainting) before and during vaccination and needle procedures to make the experience a more positive one. It teaches lifelong coping skills that can be used for other stressful situations and can be adapted for any clinic setting.
