Chronic Pain reduced 38%

Studies of nursing homes have shown a 38% drop in chronic pain rates nationwide according to David Schulke, executive vice president of the American Health Quality Association. In Colorado, rates fell from 1-in-7 patients reporting pain, to 1-in-14.
It's all part of the National Nursing Home Quality Initiative.
