Description of Project: Aim; Methods; Expected Outcomes |
The primary objective is to assess the impact of the MACPT tool on patient and HCP satisfaction of their conversation during routine standard of care (SoC) consultations. The secondary objectives are to describe the frequency of the tool words selected by the patients, and both patient- and HCP-reported usefulness of the MACPT conversation tool to identify key aspects of the patient’s total pain experience. Other planned objectives will explore the perceptions around patient-HCP communication across each side of the conversations. |
