Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Section I: Abstract Problem: Thirty percent of patients who have ambulatory surgery describe their pain as moderate to severe on postoperative phone calls in this Northern California Hospital. Patients have expressed dissatisfaction on the topic of subsequent pain on the Outpatient and Ambulatory Surgery-Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems surveys. Patients receive pain management education after recovery via oral and written format, but the content is not standardized. The aim of this project is to decrease the pain experienced by patients from 30% to less than 25% with a secondary goal to increase patient satisfaction with pain education from 10th % to over 20% on OAS-CAHPS. Context: The recovery room has over fifty patient care bays. An average of 25 outpatient surgeries are performed a day. The vast majority of surgeries performed are same day discharge with an average recovery time of ninety minutes. Staff members deliver discharge instructions written by the surgeon which includes pain management. There is variability in content and delivery of pain management education. Unit stakeholders support an educational quality improvement project to address the patient's needs for better pain control and satisfaction with their instructions. Interventions: The American College of Surgeons Safe and Effective Pain Control After Surgery brochure was used to manage the content and delivery of educational material patients received to assess their pain and treat it at home. The brochure meets the Joint Commission requirements of 2018 related to pain education upon discharge (Joint Commission,2017). Inclusion criteria for the intervention group were adult English-speaking patients having scheduled elective surgery with exclusion of eye, ear/nose/throat surgery, add-on cases, and dementia. Staff engagement and buy-in was established with huddles sharing OAS-CAHPS scores and patient postoperative call verbatims. The brochure was presented in the preoperative period for patient to read, and it was reviewed in greater detail in the recovery phase before discharge. A pain score education flyer was added to help patients describe their pain to the nurse on the postoperative call. Measures: Process measures included, increasing the amount of postoperative calls performed, auditing of nursing staff educating with the brochure, and auditing of documentation in electronic medical record. The unit informaticist pulled data from the electronic medical record to support audit accuracy. The two outcome measures included pain statements from the 24- hour postoperative phone calls and the OAS-CAHPS score on the question of subsequent pain delivered by the patient care experience coordinator. Results: The outcome measure results as of June 11,2020 show that although the quantity of patients that complained of moderate to severe pain went down from 30% to 27%. The change was not statistically significant. At the time of this analysis, the OAS-CAHPS score regarding subsequent pain education showed improvement from 10% to 49% for March. Preliminary results for April sit at 46% and May at 99%. Conclusion: There were extenuating circumstances that were in effect at the roll-out of this project. Covid-19 became a global pandemic. The volume of cases went down significantly from the average 25 cases a day to less than 10 a day. Workflows and priorities changed within the unit with a focus on infection control and safety. Based on the results of this project, the pain management educational brochure will be part of every patient's discharge instruction packet pending funding approval. Studies have found that the more education the patient receives about their pain management at home the better they do. They have less complications, report less postoperative pain, and have a better surgical care experience (Sawhney,Wilson,&McGillion,2017).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Institute of Medicine study Crossing the Quality Chasm (2001) recommended that an interdisciplinary summit be held to further reform of health professions education in order to enhance quality and patient safety. Health Professions Education: A Bridge to Quality is the follow up to that summit, held in June 2002, where 150 participants across disciplines and occupations developed ideas about how to integrate a core set of competencies into health professions education. These core competencies include patient-centered care, interdisciplinary teams, evidence-based practice, quality improvement, and informatics. This book recommends a mix of approaches to health education improvement, including those related to oversight processes, the training environment, research, public reporting, and leadership. Educators, administrators, and health professionals can use this book to help achieve an approach to education that better prepares clinicians to meet both the needs of patients and the requirements of a changing health care system.
Book Synopsis Relieving Pain in America by : Institute of Medicine
Download or read book Relieving Pain in America written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2011-10-26 with total page 383 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chronic pain costs the nation up to $635 billion each year in medical treatment and lost productivity. The 2010 Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act required the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to enlist the Institute of Medicine (IOM) in examining pain as a public health problem. In this report, the IOM offers a blueprint for action in transforming prevention, care, education, and research, with the goal of providing relief for people with pain in America. To reach the vast multitude of people with various types of pain, the nation must adopt a population-level prevention and management strategy. The IOM recommends that HHS develop a comprehensive plan with specific goals, actions, and timeframes. Better data are needed to help shape efforts, especially on the groups of people currently underdiagnosed and undertreated, and the IOM encourages federal and state agencies and private organizations to accelerate the collection of data on pain incidence, prevalence, and treatments. Because pain varies from patient to patient, healthcare providers should increasingly aim at tailoring pain care to each person's experience, and self-management of pain should be promoted. In addition, because there are major gaps in knowledge about pain across health care and society alike, the IOM recommends that federal agencies and other stakeholders redesign education programs to bridge these gaps. Pain is a major driver for visits to physicians, a major reason for taking medications, a major cause of disability, and a key factor in quality of life and productivity. Given the burden of pain in human lives, dollars, and social consequences, relieving pain should be a national priority.

Book Synopsis Best Practices in Pain Management in Primary Care by : Annette Marie Griffin
Download or read book Best Practices in Pain Management in Primary Care written by Annette Marie Griffin and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 58 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pain is common and affects approximately 9 in 10 Americans and is the most common reason people seek health care. One of the first stops to receiving care is in a primary-care setting. Considering the high prevalence of patients with pain, it's important to have knowledge of pain and the management of pain conditions, as well as the psychosocial factors involved with a chronic-pain condition. Research has also shown that many healthcare professionals receive little education in their training programs. The purpose of this project was to improve chronic-pain management in a community health care center (CHCC). The specific aim was to increase knowledge about best practices in pain management by 10% in CHCC staff. A comprehensive assessment of a CHCC was conducted to assess the quality of pain management in the CHCC. Education was developed to address the knowledge needs about pain management that were revealed in the assessment. A review of the literature was conducted after the assessment to identify best practices in pain management. In-services that included information about current best practice guidelines for chronic-pain management were provided to the staff. A pre-test was administered prior to each presentation to assess current knowledge, and a post-test immediately followed each presentation to evaluate the effectiveness of the presentation. Qualitative feedback about the presentation was also elicited on the post test. The assessment revealed that 8.5% of the patient visits were for a diagnosis of chronic pain, and the staff requested more information about best practices in pain management. The pre/post test results showed that the specific aim was achieved. Qualitative feedback indicated that the staff appreciated the in-service and wanted more information on a regular basis. The nursing staff also indicated that they would like to play a larger role in helping to manage this population in the clinic. Given the growing number of persons living with chronic pain, continuing education about pain management best practices is needed by staff working in community health care centers to ensure adequate assessment and management of chronic pain. Clinical implications and recommendations for future research are also discussed in this paper.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Pain is a complex, multidimensional phenomenon and one of the most common reasons that people seek healthcare (Twycross, 2002). Pain can result in numerous physiologic and psychological complications to the patient. Despite knowing that pain is a consequence of many clinical conditions and interventions, suboptimal pain management practices remain prevalent among nurses in many healthcare settings. Pain management in the hospital setting has become a focus of regulatory and professional organizations such as the Joint Commission and the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ). Current standards set forth by the Joint Commission place emphasis on the prompt acknowledgement and management of pain (Wells, Pasero, & McCaffery, 2008). ..." from Introduction.

This book was released on 2024-04-15 with total page 483 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Describes a superior model to guide empirical practice improvement projects This unique text provides the academic and clinical healthcare communities with a tested, practical, and successful model (EBPI+) to steer evidence-based practice improvement projects. The model--tested in multiple clinical settings--is distinguished from similar prototypes by its integration of the best EBP and quality/performance improvement principles (QI), resulting in a highly practical and comprehensible model for guiding students' and clinicians' work to improve quality outcomes in healthcare. The book emphasizes the need for collaboration among all stakeholders, particularly those in different disciplines with different perspectives, to provide greater clarity and enhance improvement work in a clinical agency. It features a blueprint for guiding healthcare improvements based on evidence that incorporates potential changes of direction midstream. The book also introduces tools for the evaluation of organizational commitment, stakeholder choice, and sustainability of improvement projects. Section One of the text focuses on the background and development of the original EBPI model, followed by, in Section Two, an elaboration of the components of the new enhanced model, EBPI+. Chapter authors in Section Three describe how they used the components of the EBPI model, discussing lessons learned from its use. This section, connecting the theoretical basis for this work with real-world applications, includes a template that readers can use to facilitate their own projects. The final section investigates future approaches to improvement work. Comprehensive appendices provide useful tools for students and clinicians to use in developing, implementing, and evaluating any EBPI+ projects. Key Features: Describes a practical and successful model incorporating the best of EBP and QI approaches (EPBI+) for improving quality outcomes in healthcare Incorporates a strong focus on how to determine and engage project stakeholders and provides tools for effective decision making Delineates specific methods to develop protocols for a small test of change prior to larger pilot studies Delivers approaches/strategies for monitoring and evaluating sustainability Discusses how to assess organizational commitment and conduct stakeholder analyses Creates examples that use each component of EBPI+ as a template for readers Emphasizes the "how to" of implementation more than other competitive models

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: " Many health care communities seek to improve post-operative pain control. Reduction in pain has been associated with positive patient outcomes and satisfaction. One specific area many health care communities identified as problematic was in pain control of the orthopedic surgical patient. Inadequate pain management was identified to affect patient satisfaction and increase length of hospital stay. The purpose of this evidence-based quality improvement project was to increase nursing knowledge of pain management strategies with a nursing education intervention to improve patient satisfaction and length of hospital stay. A one-on-one, 3-step nursing education intervention was utilized over five weeks, consisting of a pre-survey test, education session, and post-survey test. Project completion occurred on an orthopedic unit within a short-term acute care level II trauma hospital. This facility was in Northwestern Pennsylvania and was part of a large regional, national, and international healthcare network. A 13% increase in nursing mean knowledge of pain management was determined post intervention. The t-test results indicated the knowledge of the EBP change quality improvement project participant significantly improved (t (20) = 5.1, p
