Form of Materials
The
COHPPRC is a clearinghouse to disseminate information and
resources to assist others in improving the quality of pain
management and palliative care. Established in 1995, the COHPPRC
collects and centralizes a variety of materials including
pain assessment tools, patient education materials, quality
assurance materials, palliative care resources, research instruments
and other resources. See section XI for end-of-life and palliative
care resources.
If
you have materials that may be useful to others related to
pain management or palliative care, we invite you to contribute
them. Please contact Stacey Pejsa or Betty Ferrell, PhD, RN,
FAAN at the City of Hope for a materials submission form so
that you will be properly credited for your contribution.
Attached is the Index of Materials that is available for ordering

There
is a nominal fee for ordering written materials from the Index
to help defer the cost of printing and mailing.
