Therapeutic Duplication – Pharmacy • Citation during 2017 JC Survey ▫ PC.01.02.07 – The hospital assess and manages the patient’s pain. EP3: The hospital reassess and responds to the patient’s pain, passed on its - reassessment criteria. • Tracer Findings: ▫ During a tracer, it was noted that the organization did not conduct a pain reassessment within the time frame as per the pain policy for the organization. ▫ During a tracer, it was noted that Fentanyl was given for pain and the patient was not reassessed per organizational policy. ▫ During a tracer, it was noted that a pain assessment was not conducted as required by organizational policy. ▫ Hycet was ordered for pain. There was no associated assessment or reassessment of pain associated with the medication administration as required by organizational policy.
Therapeutic Duplication – Pharmacy • Citation during 2017 JC Survey – MM.04.01.01 – Medication Orders are clear and accurate. ▫ EP 13 The hospital implements its policies for medication orders. • Tracer Findings: – There was an oral and IV narcotic ordered for a post-operative patient. Both were ordered for pain and there was no further guidance as to which medication to use. This is an example of therapeutic duplication which is not in accordance with the organization’s therapeutic duplication policy. – There was an order for Fentanyl for pain or sedation. The order was not clarified with the prescriber. – There was an order for diazepam rectal gel and Midazolam injection as needed for seizures. The order did not indicate the parameters for administration of either medication. – During tracer activities during record review, it was noted that two medications were written for the same indication without differentiation as to when each should be used in multiple records.
Identified Gaps per JC Citation • No policy existed to guide the nursing staff on which pain scale to use based on age, sedation status and cognitive status • How are the pain score results currently used? • How do the current scales in use translate to the clinical picture of the patient? • Are we using the most current evidenced based scales for our different populations and age groups?
Pain Assessment Care Process Team Goals ▪ To adopt the latest EBP Pain tools for usage at TCH ▪ To support staff and patients by way of a policy to guide pain assessment and reassessment at Texas children's ▪ To standardize and guide the usage of pain tools based upon age & Cognitive status ▪ To leverage technology to improve compliance for pain assessment and reassessment
Pain Assessment Care Process Team § Pain Assessment – Self report is the gold standard – Healthcare providers and parents universally underestimate pain 27
Pain Assessment Care Process Team § How do we use pain assessments? – For symptom evaluation and assessment – To direct treatment decisions – To indicate efficacy of treatment 28
