A new pain management tool standardizes care for hospitalized patients, improving documentation consistency for acute and chronic pain. This approach enhances quality and cost-effectiveness in pain assessment and treatment.

Area of Science:

  • Nursing
  • Pain Management
  • Healthcare Quality Improvement

Background:

  • Standardized pain assessment and management are crucial for effective patient care.
  • Inconsistent documentation practices can hinder optimal pain relief.
  • Hospitalized patients often experience acute and chronic pain, requiring consistent monitoring.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop, implement, and evaluate a tool for standardizing pain assessment, monitoring, management, and documentation.
  • To address the need for consistent pain management strategies in hospitalized individuals.
  • To create a tool specifically for assessing and documenting acute and chronic pain in cancer patients.

Main Methods:

  • A multidisciplinary hospital committee collaborated with nursing staff and a pain consultant.
