Outcome
- Type
- OTHER_PRE_SPECIFIED
- Title
- Number of Nursing Home Residents in Moderate-to-severe Pain
- Description
Presence of moderate-to-severe pain within 6 months of the date of death, among decedents cared for in the enrolled nursing homes. The verbal descriptor pain scale, where the resident is asked to rate the intensity of their worst pain in the last five day was most often used, where 0 = no pain, 1 = mild pain , 2 = moderate pain, 3 = severe pain, 4 = very severe pain, and 9 = unable to answer. Lower numbers (0 or 1 ) on the scale are preferred, and a lower percentage of residents reporting pain intensity in the moderate or higher ranges is a better outcome. The verbal descriptor scale can be shared with elders verbally, as the name implies, or by asking the resident to point to a setting on a visual thermometer with these word choices.
- Time frame
- up to 6 months prior to death
