Abstract:
By means of multidisciplinary Pediatric Pain Groups in hospitals possibilities are created to implement recent knowledge about prevention of pain and relief of pain in children. The activities of these groups are amongst others: developing and testing pain protocols, applying systematic pain assessment and giving information about pediatric pain. These activities result in a reduction of pain in children and in prevention of needless suffering of pain in hospitalized children.
