Consensus-based Algorithms to Address Opioid Misuse Behaviors Among Individuals Prescribed Long-term Opioid Therapy: Developing Implementation Strategies and Pilot Testing
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Pilot study of algorithms implementation package for Opioid Misuse and Chronic Pain. Completed, enrolled 49 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The NIH Helping to End Addiction Long-term (HEAL) initiative has identified a critical next step to addressing the opioid crisis: improving treatments for opioid misuse behaviors (e.g., using more opioids than prescribed, illicit substance use) in patients prescribed long-term opioid therapy for chronic pain. In previous work, the investigators have developed innovative consensus-based algorithms to manage these behaviors. By developing implementation strategies for these algorithms, this project is directly responsive to the HEAL initiative and promises to reduce opioid misuse-related harms.
Study Details
Timeline
Arms & Interventions
The 'Implementation Bundle' was integrated into all three participating clinics over six to nine months.
Interventions
The algorithm implementation package includes a link to the algorithms in the Electronic Health Record, Smartphrases, audited feedback, and instructions.
