| Description |
The following Doctor of Nursing Practice dissertation examines the implementation of a collaborative care model to provide pain management therapies and care for patients. |
| Abstract |
Acute pain is a complex process and one of the most common reasons patients seek outpatient care by nurse practitioners and other healthcare providers. Many pain management approaches for acute care are available to adult patients, including medication, spinal manipulation, physical therapy, and specialty referrals. Typically, patients must see multiple healthcare providers and various clinics for treatment. For this project, a collaborative care model composed of a highly functioning, interprofessional care team was established to provide patients with advanced pain management therapies and personalized care management. A nurse practitioner-led care team, was also developed to ensure that patient care was personalized, collaborative, timely, and sustainable. When acute pain is managed correctly using a collaborative and interprofessional nurse practitioner-led approach, patients' clinical outcomes and satisfaction reports are improved. |
