How Pain Management Transforms Outcomes in Skilled Nursing w/ Daniel Hatmaker | Our Purpose Podcast

Описание: Pain management is one of the most overlooked — and most powerful — drivers of outcomes in skilled nursing and long-term care.

In this episode of Our Purpose Podcast, Podcasts Hosts James Dieter, Kip Kruger and Chris Light sit down with Daniel Hatmaker, Nurse Practitioner and pain management specialist, to unpack how effective, ethical pain management directly impacts rehab success, wound care, sleep, mental health, readmissions, and overall quality of life for SNF and LTC residents.

Daniel shares real-world insight from servicing multiple skilled nursing facilities, explaining:
• Why pain is often the root cause of therapy failure and readmissions
• How under-treated pain leads to stalled rehab and insurance cutoffs
• The difference between acute, chronic, neuropathic, and psychological pain
• How to manage pain without overprescribing narcotics
• Why timing, communication, and nurse staffing ratios matter
• The critical role pain control plays in PT, wound care, and sleep
• How facilities can implement pain management services successfully

This conversation is a must-listen for administrators, DONs, clinicians, operators, and ownership groups looking to improve outcomes while protecting residents, staff, and their facility’s reputation.
