Abstract:
The development of a multidisciplinary pain management committee is a critical step in monitoring and improving pain management practices. The systematic evaluation of the quality of pain management using the principles of QI establishes a process that can lead to improvements in the care that patients receive. Clinicians need to develop a 1- to 2-year plan to improve the quality of pain management. Changes in clinicians' behaviors occur slowly; thus, members of pain management committees should not become discouraged but continue to move forward one step at a time.
