Description: Several randomized controlled trials support the efficacy of music therapy for improving pain and symptom management in diverse inpatient populations, but few clinical effectiveness studies have evaluated the real-world impact of music therapy within health systems. In this presentation, Mr. Rodgers-Melnick will present results from his dissertation research that (1) investigated which patient and/or music therapy session characteristics were associated with changes in patient-reported outcome measures; (2) compared utilization outcomes (i.e., length of stay and opioid administrations) between inpatients receiving music therapy and propensity score matched controls; and (3) examined longitudinal effects on patient-reported outcome measures and opioid utilization among patients receiving music therapy over the course of their hospital admissions.
Speaker will be presenting on site.
