PAIN OUT is an EC-funded, multi-national research project that will provide a unique and user-friendly web-based information system to improve treatment of patients with post-operative pain. The project’s main objective – developing and validating a system for measurement and feedback of outcome quality and supporting the process of decision making – will enable an optimized treatment of patients. As our information system will serve as a model, any field of medicine with a high variation of care will benefit from PAIN OUT.
We would like to invite all interested persons to our project's events during the 13th Congress on Pain which takes place from 29 August to 02 September 2010 in Montréal, Canada. The PAIN OUT meeting will be on Monday, 30 August, at 06:00 pm in room 513 EF of the Palais des Congrès. The PAIN OUT workshop will be held on Tuesday, 31 August, from 04:00 to 05:30 pm in room 513 ABCD of the Palais des Congrès. We are looking forward to meeting you!
Data entry mask, data dictionary and PAIN OUT IT site
Four weeks ago, the webmask for data entry was first published. Now, with the help of our research assistants and TAKWA, we have a working data entry mask where already over 3,000 data sets have been entered. Further, the data dictionary can be accessed online now. It can all be found under our IT site http://painout.imise.uni-leipzig.de/ or with the links when you log in.
