AMDA PRESENTS
A Broad Look at the Role of Pain Management in
Long-Term Care from Barriers to its Legal Aspects
WORKSHOP DATE/TIME: 9-11 a.m., Thursday, Oct. 25
LOCATION: Walt Disney World Dolphin, Lake Buena Vista, Fla.
OVERVIEW: Statistics suggest that as many as 80% of elderly adults have pain.
Pain is a common and major problem among nursing home residents. Unfortunately,
the long-term care setting, and the systems within and without may contribute to
under-diagnosis and under-treatment of pain in elderly patients. Perceived barriers to
providing adequate pain management included lack of knowledge about pain management among nurses and physicians, lack of a standardized approach to treating pain,
lack of diagnostic precision in treating pain, and difficulty in not only choosing but
having access to the right analgesic. These issues create not only barriers in achieving
appropriate goals for pain management but create legal issues as well. This session
will present an overview of current legislative and regulatory initiatives, discuss the
barriers and practical ways to deal with those barriers and then discuss the legal issues
surrounding pain management in this setting.
COURSE OBJECTIVES: 1. Assess the barriers and challenges to pain recognition
and management in the elderly and comprehend the factors and causes associated
with pain and pain experienced at the end-of-life. 2. Evaluate the principles of pain
management in the environment of difficult access and discuss issues around transitions of care and pain management. 3. Discuss how to view facility quality assurance
activities to assess how well pain is managed and how pain management issues affect
facility Quality Measure Profiles. 4. Understand the fundamentals of regulatory and
legal requirements as well as risk management in pain management.
TARGET AUDIENCE: Physicians • PAs • Pharmacists • Nurse Practitioners
• Nurses • QIO Managers • Directors of Nursing • Long-Term Care Administrators
SPACE IS LIMITED: Registration fee is only $75 and is accepted on a first-come,
first-served basis. Register now, at the same time you sign up for the “Best Care Practices
in the Geriatric Continuum 2012” conference.
Activities for Spouses, Kids, and Guests
If you have a spouse, guests, or children traveling with you, volunteers are organizing
