Inpatient Multimodal Path to RecOVEry

The goal of the proposed study is to develop and implement a comprehensive strategy to
address pain management in the inpatient setting while appropriately managing pain and
optimizing patient safety in the inpatient setting. This strategy involves developing a new
health Information Technology tool in the Omnicell and electronic medical record,
implementing a "menu" of pain management and relaxation strategies, and developing
educational materials for staff and patients to change the culture of pain management.

This intervention will be implemented throughout CHS hospitals, using a stepped wedge design
to guide rollout. The initial pilot will be conducted in the trauma inpatient units at
Carolinas Medical Center. All patients admitted to the two primary trauma units (11A and 11
Tower) during the pilot study period will be included in the evaluation.

Inclusion Criteria:

- All patients treated in facility as inpatient during the study period will be included
in the analysis.

Exclusion Criteria:

- Patients not admitted to facility during the study period will be excluded from the
analysis.
