Talaria-Hypermedia Clinical Practice Guidelines for Cancer Pain

http://www.stat.washington.edu/TALARIA/TALARIA.html

This site provides Talaria, a hypermedia training and reference tool for healthcare providers managing patients with cancer pain. The clinical practice guideline on cancer pain relief, just released by the Agency for Health Care Policy and Research (AHCPR), formally defines much of the knowledge base for Talaria . The purpose of the program mirrors that of the practice guideline, to improve the management of pain in patients with cancer by informing physicians, nurses and other health care providers about current therapeutic options and principles. Some of the topics covered include assessment of pain in the patient with cancer, pharmacologic management, procedure-related pain in adults and children, barriers to effective pain management, suffering, loss of control, and quality of life, pain in special populations, and much more.
