ABSTRACT
The Agency for Health Care Policy and Research pain guidelines and implementation theories were used in this improvement initiative to ensure that evidence-based pain management reached every provider and patient in a large tertiary care hospital. Implementation strategies, products, and outcome measures are described for use in the clinical setting. Critical success factors and implementation barriers are also addressed.
