Botti,M, Kent,B, Bucknall,T, Duke,M, Johnstone,MJ, Considine,J, Redley,B, Hunter,S, de Steiger,R, Holcombe,M and Cohen,E 2014, Development of a management algorithm for post-operative pain (MAPP) after total knee and total hip replacement: study rationale and design, Implementation science, vol. 9, no. 1, pp. 1-11, doi: 10.1186/s13012-014-0110-3.
Evidence from clinical practice and the extant literature suggests that post-operative pain assessment and treatment is often suboptimal. Poor pain management is likely to persist until pain management practices become consistent with guidelines developed from the best available scientific evidence. This work will address the priority in healthcare of improving the quality of pain management by standardising evidence-based care processes through the incorporation of an algorithm derived from best evidence into clinical practice. In this paper, the methodology for the creation and implementation of such an algorithm that will focus, in the first instance, on patients who have undergone total hip or knee replacement is described.
