Interdisciplinary Pain Care Brings Patient Satisfaction Up, Pain Down

Pain Management

Mount Sinai School of Medicine researchers published a study showing an interdisciplinary approach to monitoring patient pain increases patient care and satisfaction, according to a Medical News Today report. There were 38,544 patients involved in the initial study, which helped identify trends in pain severity. Researchers developed a numeric scale associating pain severity with patient satisfaction as well as a model to predict the patient's pain before or at the time of hospital admission. With these tools, an interdisciplinary pain management team developed new interventions and measured patient response.

Pain levels decreased 3.6 percent per quarter after implementing the new measures and patient satisfaction increased.
