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.
ESA project on chronic postsurgical pain (euCPSP): As consented in Tel Aviv, participants of the euCPSP-study will join PAIN OUT International. So far, more than 40 hospitals from all over Europe have confirmed their participation. Since beginning of July, data entry for the euCPSP study is possible.
From now on, two additional benchmark groups are available on the PAIN OUT benchmark server: Eye surgery and vascular surgery. If you want to use the benchmarking functions for these procedures, please send an e-mail to the coordination team.
