    AbstractThe Agency for Health Care Policy and Research reviewed and synthesized the current pain research and developed a clinical practice guideline to assist the practitioner. A community hospital decided to adopt the postoperative pain management guideline using a research utilization approach. Education of health care professionals and development of a pain flow chart, pain scales, and updated technology were completed. Preliminary findings demonstrate a decreased pain intensity score postsurgically and an increase in patient satisfaction with staff response to pain relief.
