Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
The coach will present the latest research on the benefits and risks of long-term opioid use. The presentation will be followed by a brainstorming exercise where the coach joins the clinic team in experiencing clinical practices from the perspective of a patient with chronic pain. The coach will help the clinic team flowchart clinical workflows and determine the best course for implementing aspects of a checklist-based implementation guide developed to support adoption of the guidelines for opioid prescribing. The coach will help the team implement ideas using Plan-Do-Study-Act change cycles. The coach will maintain monthly email and phone contact with the clinic lead and clinic team after the initial site visit to monitor implementation progress and offer advice.
