Key inclusion & exclusion criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

Hospitals met the following inclusion criteria in at least four patient care units:

- distinct geographic location and administrative structure;

- minimum of 15 beds per unit;

- care for children exposed to painful procedures for diagnostic or therapeutic
purposes; and

- implementation of pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions to manage
pain.

The 16 participating hospital units had implemented the EPIQ intervention in the CIHR Team
in Children's Pain study. Patients in the participating hospital units were eligible to be
included in the determination of the pain practice and clinical outcomes if they:

- were between 32 weeks gestational age at birth and 18 years;

- received skin breaking procedures; and

- were admitted to the unit for >24 hours.

Surveys used to determine factors influencing sustainability were administered to health
care professionals in all participating units, who had at least 1 year of professional
experience, had worked on the unit for at least 6 months, and spoke English or French.
