Educational Intervention Effect on Pain Management Quality in Emergency Department; a Clinical Audit.

Introduction: Pain is a frequent complaint of patients who are referred to the emergency department (ED), which is ignored or mismanaged and, almost always, approached in terms of determining the cause of pain instead of pain management. Pain management is a challenging issue in the ED.

Objective: This study was conducted to determine the effect of emergency resident's education about pain assessment and pain-relief drugs in the improvement in pain management.
