About this course

The aim of managing postoperative pain is to minimize the adverse effects of acute postsurgical pain and facilitate the patient's return to normal activities. Traditionally, opioids have been the primary treatment for acute postoperative pain. However, concerns about opioid misuse have prompted a shift towards exploring alternative pain management approaches.

This course delves into the consequences of inadequate pain control, highlighting the heightened risk of chronic pain and patient dissatisfaction. Participants will understand the importance of optimizing postoperative pain management for better immediate results, shorter hospital stays, and improved overall patient satisfaction. By engaging in this training, the interdisciplinary team will enhance its ability to navigate the complexities of postoperative pain management, leading to enhanced patient care and outcomes. Through collaborative efforts, the healthcare team ensures comprehensive care that addresses all aspects of postoperative pain.

Dawn O.Nutritionist

I am always interested in continuing education in the areas of health, wellness, nutrition and mental health. Your course was well written, well organized and helpful in meeting state licensure requirements.

Priya M.Occupational Therapist

Very well written, easy to digest, time efficient, and straight to the point. Thank you!

Cristina GRegistered Nurse

I appreciate the convenience of the course being online and accessible through my phone and that it directly reports to CEBroker to support mandated education requirements.

Allison B.Nurse Practitioner

I really loved this information. I was hospitalized last year for almost a month and I noticed multiple medical errors (not being hooked up to my IV multiple times, given wrong medication which caused my sodium to be very low, etc.) which lengthened my stay. I can now define those exact errors and better understand what happened to me. I hate that these medical errors are so common and I appreciate how well laid out your breakdown and categorization of them was.

Ronald H.Dentist
