Area of Science:

  • Nursing
  • Palliative Care
  • Clinical Informatics

Background:

  • Effective pain management is crucial in palliative care.
  • Standardized tools can enhance nursing assessment and decision-making.
  • Current documentation practices may require optimization.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the development and implementation of a novel pain assessment and treatment flowsheet (PATF).
  • To evaluate the PATF's impact on nursing assessment, decision-making, and documentation of pain.
  • To explore the potential for wider application of the PATF beyond palliative care.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a flowsheet by a clinical nurse specialist.
  • Implementation on a palliative care unit.
  • Utilization by an interdisciplinary team for pain management.

  • Ongoing revision and re-implementation planning.

    • Main Results:

    • The PATF facilitated nursing assessment, decision-making, and documentation of pain.
    • The tool was integrated into the daily management of patients' pain by the palliative care team.
    • Initial implementation demonstrated the value of a standardized approach.

    Conclusions:

    • The PATF is a valuable tool for enhancing pain management in palliative care.
    • Revision and re-implementation aim to extend its benefits to general patient populations.
    • Standardized flowsheet development can improve clinical practice and patient outcomes.
