Description
An account of the resource
The purpose of this article is to describe the implementation and evaluation of a quality improvement process to improve pain management in a hospice setting. A retrospective chart audit of 702 patient visits pre- and 536 patient visits post-implementation of quality improvement strategies measured five aspects of pain management: complaints of pain, severity of pain, changes in patient's pain medication regime required, patient and family teaching, and use of complementary therapies. Of these measures a significant change was found in the documentation of pain assessment, recognition of changes required in the medication regime, and patient and family teaching.
