In 1990, Schumpert Medical Center, Shreveport, Louisiana--a 625-bed acute care hospital--established an acute pain service (APS) department and implemented the ten-step monitoring and evaluation process as recommended by the Joint Commission to facilitate the quality assurance program for pain management therapy. The program, which entails the cooperative effort of anesthesiologists and registered nurses, is intended to provide individualized pain management therapy to qualified APS patients on a 24-hour, seven-day-a-week basis. Through continuous, systematic monitoring and evaluation of six aspects of care and their indicators and thresholds, the quality of APS patient care can be determined and improved.
