Overview
Brief Summary
This is an observational study project aims at improving postoperative pain outcomes by evaluating the current status of postoperative pain managements in the institution. Then the investigators will compare the results by internal and external benchmarking. Then they will suggest recommendations to improve the current situation of postoperative pain management.
Detailed Description
At least half of the patients suffer from moderate to severe post-operative pain. The price of poorly managed pain is high: pain impedes recovery, causes suffering and prolongs the hospital stay. PAIN OUT provides tools for measurement, feedback and benchmarking of pain treatment quality in order to improve patient care. A research project that aims at improving postoperative pain treatment outcomes by evaluating the current status of postoperative pain managements in our institution. Then the investigators compare the results by internal and external benchmarking. Then suggest recommendations to improve the current situation of postoperative pain management. parameters include" Patient's data Pain assessments by using the visual analogue score of 11 point (from "0" no pain - "10" worst pain) will be evaluated as the following: Worst pain since surgery, Least pain since surgery, Pain score at rest.
