Area of Science:

  • Pain Management
  • Healthcare Quality Improvement
  • Patient Experience

Background:

  • Traditional numeric pain scales may oversimplify patient pain experiences.
  • Effective pain assessment requires considering factors beyond intensity.
  • A tertiary Midwest hospital sought to enhance its pain assessment protocol.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the implementation of the Comprehensive Assessment of Pain Assessment (CAPA) tool.
  • To evaluate the impact of CAPA adoption on patient satisfaction scores.
  • To determine if CAPA meets regulatory pain assessment requirements.

Main Methods:

  • Adoption of the CAPA tool to replace a numeric pain scale for self-reporting adult patients.
  • Qualitative and quantitative analysis of patient satisfaction data pre- and post-implementation.
  • Assessment of the tool's alignment with regulatory standards for pain assessment.

Main Results:

  • Implementation was a transformative process for the healthcare setting.
  • Modest increases in patient satisfaction scores related to pain management were observed.
  • Patient reports of "staff did everything to manage pain" showed the most significant and sustained gains (over 2 years).

Conclusions:

  • The CAPA tool offers a more comprehensive approach to pain assessment.
  • Adoption of CAPA positively influenced patient satisfaction with pain management.
  • The CAPA tool fulfills regulatory requirements for pain assessment.
