    AbstractThe quality of postoperative pain management can be improved. Although many safe and effective therapies exist, their utilization varies considerably between and within institutions. Major challenges include the appropriate prescribing of analgesic therapies and the timely response to suboptimal pain control. Patients' satisfaction with their analgesic care may depend less on how well their pain is controlled and more on the attentiveness of their caregivers.
