title: Implementing a Pain Care Toolkit to Improve Patient Perception of Pain Care.
abstract: As a result of the Hospital Value-Based Purchasing (VBP) Program, hospitals are now faced with reimbursement for quality of care, including patient perception of care, as measured by the Hospital Compare Assessment of Health Plans Survey, which includes the patient experience with pain care. Through the implementation of a Pain Care Quality Toolkit, patient perception of pain care can be improved, thus increasing the possibility of maximum reimbursement through the VBP.
