Journal of Pain and Symptom Management, 06/11/09
Hakonsen GD et al. - Overall guideline adherence was 75%. Low adherence (<50%) was seen for nine criteria, whereas 21 criteria were considered high-adherence criteria (>75%). Overall adherences for 56 (29%) hospitalized patients and 136 (71%) hospice patients were 65% (CI: 62%, 68%) and 79% (CI: 78%, 81%), respectively. Although good overall guideline adherence was found, there were gaps in both the hospice and hospital palliative care settings in the implementation of certain treatment recommendations, particularly in relation to pain assessment. The application of the tool has highlighted issues for feedback to health care providers and for further study.
