Pain management has become a front-burner issue
for long-term care facilities, receiving increased attention from
CMS and IDPH. Recent medical studies have shown that nursing home
residents are seriously under-assessed and under-treated for pain.
Recognizing the growing importance of this issue, the Illinois
Council has developed a comprehensive pain management protocol that
can be used by facilities to put an entire pain management program
together from start to finish. The protocol includes policies and
procedures, assessment forms, pain tracking tools, care planning
guides staff training modules, physician communication tools,
medication guidelines, and an overview of supplementary comfort
measures. The protocol provides a detailed blueprint for putting pain
management principles into practice to improve outcomes and quality
of life.
