Tools: Process of Care Measures for Pain
Facilities wishing to engage in pain management quality improvement may do so by addressing the eight pain process of care measures. This tool includes a number of documents that explain the pain processes of care, how to assess a facility's baseline performance on the pain processes of care, and how to reassess performance following a quality improvement initiative such as implementation of pain clinical practice guidelines. Such assessment is done by chart abstraction of minimum data set (MDS) data. This collection of documents includes instructions for sampling charts, abstracting the MDS data, categorizing pain medications, and analyzing process measure results.
