Quality improvement initiative enhances pain management practices in sickle cell disease, highlighting stigma and opioid prescribing issues.

This project aimed to enhance resident knowledge and practices in sickle cell pain management according to ASH guidelines.
Conducted a quality improvement initiative among internal medicine and med-peds residents.
Administered pre- and post-intervention surveys to assess knowledge and practice changes.
Implemented a resident-led educational presentation and provided practice guidelines as part of the intervention.
Significant increases in awareness of opioid dosing protocol (30% to 70%), tailored opioid regimens (40% to 65%), and mental health screening (27% to 57%).
Residents reported improved comfort in advocating for pain control (20% to 50%).
Persistent barriers included stigma and discomfort with high-dose opioid prescribing, despite improved knowledge.
