This study will adapt and scale the use of existing AHRQ-supported interoperable CDS that aids patient-centered chronic pain treatment decision making. The research will generate critical evidence on scalable strategies to implement and evaluate interoperable CDS in real-world settings across different types of EHRs. The pragmatic trial will enhance the reach of interoperable CDS to more diverse populations. Together, these efforts will lead to important new technology and evidence that patients, clinicians, and health systems can use to improve care for millions of Americans who suffer from pain and other chronic conditions.
This study will adapt and scale existing AHRQ-supported interoperable CDS for patient-centered chronic pain care. The objective of this project is to study the adaptation and implementation of an existing interoperable CDS tool for pain treatment shared decision making, with tailored implementation support, in primary care clinical settings. The central hypothesis is that tailored implementation support will increase CDS adoption and shared decision making.
