Pain management. An organizational perspective.

Abstract:

:To sustain optimal pain-relieving care for acutely and critically ill patients, organizations must have systems in place to support evidence-based interventions, facilitate expert practice in the area of pain management, and encourage ongoing communication among patients, families, and providers. The key to success may be to create an organizational culture that is supportive of all practitioners to use effectively the many therapeutic options available to manage pain. Although redesigning structures to support pain management care can be done with relative ease, altering the culture of the practice environment and the behavior of care providers may prove more challenging. Cultural changes occur slowly, but as the practice changes do take hold, so do the results. The steps to change an organizational culture around pain management include understanding the existing system and involving key formal and informal leaders. Most experts recommend not attacking the existing culture head-on but living the culture you are trying to create and understanding that the transformation is not going to take place overnight. The use of evidence-based collaborative practice and quality improvement models may be a key to improving the practice environment for pain management. Evidenced-based pain management practice combined with an organizational commitment to optimal pain management for all patients helps to create and sustain the environment to effect the change.
