Impact of a clinical encounter time protection program on pain management: a retrospective difference-in-difference study
This patient-centred program effectively improved objective measures of pain management quality in a tertiary hospital setting. However, further research is needed to assess its impact on patient experience, as well as healthcare professional engagement and satisfaction. Insights from future studies could guide the development of similar patient-centred initiatives that aim to balance efficiency with high-quality patient care.
