Testing the Pain Clinical Practice Guideline

"Following randomization champions and stakeholder team members from the communities will be identified. The investigators will recommend the following individuals to be members of the stakeholder team: a nurse in a leadership position (e.g., director of nursing); the designated champion(s); nursing home administrator; physician/medical director, nurse practitioner and/or physician assistant; unit nurse; nursing assistant; activity staff; social worker; pharmacist; and rehabilitation therapists.~Following the first stakeholder team meeting, treatment communities will be provided with a research nurse facilitator to work 8 hours weekly during months one and two and then for four hours weekly starting in month three for a total of 12 months to provide the four components of the PAIN-CPG-EIT."

The Pain-CPG-Education only group will be provided with the same education as used in Component II of the Pain-CPG-EIT intervention. The education will be provided based on the preferences of the community (this may be face-to-face; online; or via handouts).
