Raising HCAHPS Results > Pain Management Effectiveness

Many hospitals are struggling to raise HCAHPS results using a variety of action plans with varying results. Leading hospitals have a full action plan including experts in each area of concern on the survey. Keep watching while I blog a series on the components of an HCAHPS improvement strategy. The following issue is a critical component to any HCAHPS improvement strategy.

Issue #3, Effectiveness of Pain Management: Although Errand Solutions cannot relieve the patients’ pain, we do help them pass the time more comfortably in the hospital with our Magic Moments program. Patients remember this when they are surveyed. At Cooper University Hospital, our DVD and Book Club library helps patients put their mind elsewhere.

Although Errand Solutions can provide comforts and distractions, patients headed home face a myriad of challenges in their daily tasks. When patients worry about how they will manage their daily needs at home, it only exacerbates their focus on pain. Errand Solutions counsels patients on their everyday needs at home and arranges services which calm concerns and settles minds. Our contracted VendorPartner relationships ensure quality, reliability, and fair pricing.

Why worry? Check out http://www.errandsolutions.com/site/patient.htm for ideas on how Errand Solutions helps leading healthcare organizations.
