New guide & modules on multimodal pain strategies for postoperative pain management
Pain management can pose multiple challenges in the acute care setting for hospitalists and front-line prescribers. While their first priority is to optimally manage pain in their patients, they also face the challenges of treating diverse patient populations, managing patient expectations, and considering how pain control and perceptions affect Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems scores. Furthermore, because of the ongoing opioid epidemic, prescribers must ensure that pain is managed responsibly and ethically.
To address these issues, SHM developed a guide to address how to work in an interdisciplinary team, identify impediments to implementation, and provide examples of appropriate pain management. In accompaniment with this Multimodal Pain Strategies Guide for Postoperative Pain Management, there are three modules presented by the authors which supplement the electronic guide.
To download the guide or view the modules, visit hospitalmedicine.org/pain.
