Area of Science:

  • Healthcare Management
  • Patient Care Improvement
  • Pain Management Research

Background:

  • Post-discharge patient feedback indicated suboptimal satisfaction with pain management.
  • Initial patient satisfaction scores for pain management were as low as 72.4%.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To enhance patient satisfaction with pain management post-discharge.
  • To implement an interdisciplinary team approach for individualized pain management.

Main Methods:

  • An interdisciplinary team was formed on an acute-care unit.
  • Daily rounds and improved nursing assessments were implemented.
  • Kurt Lewin's change theory guided the intervention.

Main Results:
