Cancer pain guidelines: now that we have them, what do we do?

Addressing the what, who, when, where, and how of implementing the AHCPR guidelines is an attempt to simplify what may be an overwhelming process. Use the suggestions presented in Figure 1 to formulate an action plan, and remember to assign a time frame and individual accountability. The commitment to moving the guidelines from the bookshelf to the bedside begins now. Using a process such as this will assist efforts to improve care of patients in pain. It is our hope that a year from now the copy of the AHCPR cancer pain guidelines on your shelf will not be covered with dust but rather will be a well-worn text translated to practice.

Developing clinical practice guidelines: an interview with Ada Jacox. Interview by Barbara Bednar.

In 1992, the Agency for Health Care Policy and Research (AHCPR) released the first in a series of clinical practice guidelines designed to assist hospitals, practitioners, insurers, and consumers in learning more about which medical practices work and how that knowledge should be applied to delivering health care. In this interview, Ada Jacox, PhD, RN, co-chair of the pain management panel, discusses the development of clinical practice guidelines, their importance to health care professionals and consumers, and their possible impact on future practice.
