Establishing personal pain goals in oncology patients to improve patient care and decrease costs [presentation] Presentation uri icon
Overview
abstract
  • Opioids remain a mainstay for oncology pain management but long-term use poses numerous challenges. Frauenshuh Cancer Center led an 18-month initiative to improve patient understanding of opioid use, educate clinicians on opioid costs and comparative effectiveness, and implement a nursing protocol to document personal pain goals (PPG). Learn how this pain intervention improved rates of PPG documentation, streamlined work processes, decreased out-of-pocket costs, and enhanced both patient and provider experience.
