Shared Decision Making in Pain Management Planning in Patients With Cancer

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Cancer

In brief

The goal of this project is to evaluate the effectiveness of shared-decision-making (SDM) to manage chronic and breakthrough pain in patients with cancer. Providers will receive evidence-based education on shared decision-making strategies and comprehensive pain management at study start up. In addition, the information will be available on the Carevive platform for reference at the point of care. This multisite study will enroll 105 patients from three cancer institutions. This project will explore the SDM model using a touchscreen-based expanded pain assessment (EPA) to evaluate the impact of the shared-decision-making model on pain management, and explore its relationship to pain management care planning. Patients will use the Carevive Systems software in the clinic to answer questions regarding decision making preferences and complete a comprehensive assessment of their pain status. Treatment recommendations and a care plan will be provided to the patient at the time of the visit. At each clinic visit over 4 months, the patient will again complete the pain assessment and receive appropriate treatment recommendations and a revised care plan.
