Pragmatic Use of PAIN-Advanced Dementia Scale in Emergency Departments

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Dementia, Hip Pain, Emergency Department Patient, Pain in Advanced Dementia Scale

In brief

The purpose of this study is to learn if the Pain in Advanced Dementia (PAINAD) scale can improve emergency pain care in persons living with dementia (PLWD). It is hypothesized that a PAINAD electronic health record (EHR) prompt that appears to emergency department (ED) staff will enable them to accurately assess pain levels and lead to better pain treatment for PLWD.
