The delivery of pain management services to patients with cancer varies across healthcare settings. Identification of areas common to successful programs would be helpful to healthcare professionals developing or restructuring their own programs. The delivery of pain management services in six different systems is described with respect to organizational structure, service process, and essential components. Three elements common to successful programs are identified: (1) team effort and coordination, (2) provision of education, and (3) accountability and administrative support. The authors conclude that these three elements are critical to the delivery of pain management services across healthcare settings.
