Family and Healthcare Leaders in Pediatric Pain Management: Powerful Partners working together to Enhance Implementation Models

Sunday, October 20, 2024
8:30 AM - 11:30 AM NDT
Location: Bannerman 2
The Pediatric Pain Management standard, co-developed by Solutions for Kids in Pain (SKIP) and the Health Standards Organization (HSO), is the first national standard to guide policies and practice for managing pediatric pain in Canada.

Development of the Pediatric Pain Management Standard involved a “Patients Included” approach with the collaboration of children and families. With the successful implementation of the criteria and guidelines well underway, this hive will explore family engagement opportunities in the ongoing implementation of the standard.

Participants will also learn how to leverage the strengths and values of both family partners and senior leaders as champions within their organization to influence adoption of the Pediatric Pain Standard. The session will explore implementation models and change management principles including these powerful partners in health care teams that deliver equitable, evidence-informed, and person-centered pain care for children.
