What this trial studies
This project aims to adapt and implement an existing clinical decision support (CDS) tool to enhance patient-centered care for chronic pain management in primary care settings. The study will focus on shared decision-making between patients and clinicians, utilizing tailored implementation support to increase the adoption of the CDS tool. By evaluating the effectiveness of this approach, the research seeks to provide scalable strategies for integrating CDS into various electronic health record systems, ultimately improving care for diverse populations suffering from chronic pain.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this study are primary care patients with chronic non-cancer musculoskeletal pain and a recent history of opioid use.
Not a fit: Patients who do not speak English will not benefit from this study due to the language limitations of the clinical decision support tool.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could significantly improve the management of chronic pain for millions of patients by enhancing shared decision-making and treatment options.
How similar studies have performed: Other studies have shown success in implementing clinical decision support tools in primary care, indicating that this approach has potential for positive outcomes.
