Description: As a caregiver, one responsibility Cheryl Pacella has is improving the quality of life for her pain management patients. Pacella notes that mutual goals set by both the caregiver and the patient are important in delivering on this responsibility. Also in this podcast, Pacella, performance improvement advisor at Masspro, a performance management organization, discusses the measures she relies on to assess pain in her patients as well as the barriers she faces in providing adequate pain control. Pacella, along with Marilee Donovan, regional pain management coordinator with Kaiser Permanente Northwest provided the inside details on their organization's efforts to improve pain management during a June 11, 2008 webinar, Managing the Chronic Pain Patient: Strategies to Improve Quality of Life and Reduce Excessive Healthcare Utilization.
