Achieving value in postoperative pain management requires attaining the best patient outcomes using the least resources. %26lt;br%26gt;While nurses are assessing and intervening more frequently for greater severity, their actions are not necessarily generating positive outcomes. %26lt;br%26gt;To optimize value, it is recommended that pain assessment frequency be evaluated for patients reporting mild or no pain. %26lt;br%26gt;Efficiencies in pain management may be gained by reconceptualizing thinking time as value added, especially when considering the impact of outliers on resource use. %26lt;br%26gt;Adopting a strategy of pain prevention or early intervention when pain is less severe may increase the overall value of nursing care.
