| Sumario: | The article focuses on the development of a standardized pain measure set by the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) Pain Management, Opioid Safety, and Prescription Drug Monitoring Program (PMOP) to enhance pain assessment in veterans. The measure set, created through a consensus-building process involving various healthcare professionals and patient feedback, includes multiple domains such as pain intensity, sleep quality, and emotional well-being, aiming to provide a comprehensive evaluation of pain and its impacts. The implementation strategy emphasizes education and resources for clinicians to facilitate the use of the measure set in pain clinics, with future plans to assess its effectiveness and adaptability in other healthcare settings.
