IMPROVING PAIN MANAGEMENT IN CANCER CARE

描述：此应用程序建议开发疼痛评估和 以科学为基础的癌症患者管理系统(PAMS-PC) 评估和干预计划。PAMS-PC将使用交互式语音 响应(IVR)，以便患者可以指示疼痛和症状级别 为共同利益打电话并获得量身定制的教育和干预 与癌症相关的问题。将开发一个管理应用程序来 允许肿瘤学家通过可定制的方式访问患者记录的疼痛/症状 报告。该项目解决了众所周知的疼痛/症状管理障碍 癌症患者。尽管癌症患者的疼痛发生率很高，但疼痛是 供应商没有充分认识到这一点，也没有提供足够的文件。结果, 癌症相关疼痛和症状的治疗低于平均水平是很常见的，尽管 先进的止痛药和其他治疗癌症疼痛/症状的技术。 患者权益倡导团体和监管机构呼吁将其“常规化” 对疼痛和其他症状的评估。第一阶段将需要开发 和测试Alpha版本的评估和开发，以及 PAMS-PC IVR系统演示版本的验收测试。第二阶段将 包括确认评估和领域的心理测量学属性 对整个系统进行测试。 建议的商业应用：不可用

DESCRIPTION: This application proposes development of the Pain Assessment and Management System for People with Cancer (PAMS-PC), a scientifically based assessment and intervention program. The PAMS-PC will utilize Interactive Voice Response (IVR) so that patients can indicate pain and symptom levels over the telephone and obtain tailored education and interventions for common cancer-related problems. An administrative application will be developed to permit oncologists to access patients' recorded pain/symptoms via customizable reports. This project addresses well-known obstacles to pain/symptom management of cancer patients. Despite high rates of pain among cancer patients, pain is insufficiently recognized and poorly documented by providers. As a result, sub-par treatment for cancer-related pain and symptoms is commonplace, despite advanced analgesic and other techniques for dealing with cancer pain/symptoms. Patient advocacy groups and regulatory agencies have called for "routinization" of the assessment of pain and other symptoms. Phase I will entail development and testing of an Alpha version of the assessment and development and acceptance testing of a demo version of the PAMS-PC IVR system. Phase II will involve confirmation of the psychometric properties of the assessment and field test of the entire system. PROPOSED COMMERCIAL APPLICATION: NOT AVAILABLE
