Part of our Palliative Essentials in LTC ECHO Series
Person-centred pain management in long term care is a core palliative essential. Untreated pain in frail older adults leads to significant distress, functional decline, pain behaviours, and reduces quality of life. This ECHO session focuses on effective pain management starting with understanding the resident’s goals of care and highlighting timely assessment including the use of behaviour based tools such as PAINAD for residents with dementia, as well as appropriate use of analgesics including opioids, addressing common fears about pain medications and strategies for effective communication with prescribers.
