We've used two instruments: One to track symptom burden and the effect of pc on symptoms - this is completed daily by the team (CAPC clinical rounding tool). Additionally, we have another form that is completed at the end of the consult by the team that documents exactly what the team did. The first form is available at: http://www.capc.org/tools-for-palliative-care-programs/clinical-tools/pain-symptom-assessment/

If you want to email me at sean.morrison@mssm.edu, I can send you a PDF of the second form.

I would be interested in seeing the 2nd tool. I am using the edmonton symptom scale to measure pain and symptom management, but I have not seen anything that really says what I did...All the long talks with families facilitating decision-making etc... Some things are hard to measure- too subjective.
