SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Proposed Project
Clinical Decision Support (CDS) for
Chronic Pain Management
Prescription opioid pain medication
overuse, misuse, and abuse have been a
significant contributing factor in the
opioid epidemic. The goal of this project
is to develop, implement, disseminate,
and evaluate clinical decision support
(CDS) tools for both patients and
clinicians in the management of chronic
pain. The CDS tools are intended to be
interoperable and publicly-shareable,
and will be designed to meet the needs
of patients and clinicians through both
patient-facing and clinician-facing
channels and formats.
The development and deployment of
CDS tools designed to optimize opioid
dose reduction is intended to support
primary care physicians who are not
pain-management specialists as they
care for patients who are at high risk of
harm from opioids. This goal will be
achieved through the design,
development, implementation, and
evaluation of a clinician-facing CDS tool
for chronic pain management that
optimize presentation of patient data
and evidence-based guidelines to
support opioid tapering. The clinicianfacing CDS tool will help non-pain
specialists detect patients at high risk of
harm from opioids, provide
personalized evidence-based guidelines
to support opioid tapering, optimize the
presentation of patient data, and reduce
unnecessary variation in clinical
practice.
The clinician-facing CDS tool will
also assist non-pain specialists in
determining if an opioid taper is
necessary for a specific patient, aid in
E:\FR\FM\14JYN1.SGM

42405
Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 135 / Tuesday, July 14, 2020 / Notices
performing the taper, and aid in
providing follow-up and support during
the taper. The clinician-facing CDS tools
are meant to accomplish three goals: (1)
Better monitor the patient’s functional
pain and opioid use, (2) visualize
patient data, and (3) incorporate
guidelines for prescribing and tapering
opioids for chronic pain. The patientfacing CDS tool will be used to help
patients at high-risk of harm from
opioids track and manage chronic pain
and daily function to support reduced
opioid use. This goal will be achieved
through the design, development,
implementation, and evaluation of a
CDS tool that facilitates continued
patient provider engagement. This
patient-facing CDS tool will deliver
support in ways that enhance patient
activation, education and engagement,
and collaborative decisions and actions
between patients and their care teams.
The patient-facing CDS tool should
enhance the quality of clinical
discussion between healthcare
providers and patients by allowing for
continued patient engagement outside
of the clinical setting.
This study is being conducted by
AHRQ through its contractor, MedStar
Health, pursuant to AHRQ’s statutory
authority to assist users of health
information technology focused on CDS
to promote the timely incorporation of
comparative clinical effectiveness
research into clinical practices. 42 U.S.C
299b–37(c).
Method of Collection
To achieve the goals of this project the
following data collections will be
implemented.
(1) Post-Use Survey with Primary Care
Providers ‘‘Evaluation Provider
Survey’’: This evaluation includes the
collection of qualitative data through a
short survey with primary care
providers who used the clinician-facing
CDS tool for chronic pain management
(up to a maximum of 60). The research
team will collect insights from providers
on their experience of implementing
and using the clinician-facing CDS tool
for chronic pain management. The
survey will be accessible in both online
and paper formats.
(2) Post-Use Survey with Patients
‘‘Evaluation Patient Survey’’: This
evaluation includes the collection of
qualitative data through a short survey
with patients who used the patientfacing CDS tool for pain management
(up to a maximum of 150). The research
team will collect insights from patients
on their experience of implementing
and using patient-facing CDS. The
survey will be accessible in both online
and paper formats.
(3) Post-Use Interview with Primary
Care Providers ‘‘Evaluation Provider
Interview’’: This evaluation component
includes the collection of qualitative
data through an in-depth thirty-minute
interview with primary care providers
who used the clinician-facing CDS tool
for chronic pain management (up to a
maximum of 10). The research team will
collect insights from providers on their
experience of implementing and using
this clinician-facing CDS tool.
(4) Post-Use Interviews with Patients
‘‘Evaluation Patient Interview’’: This
evaluation component includes the
collection of qualitative data through an
in-depth thirty-minute interview with
patients who used the patient-facing
CDS tool for pain management (up to a
maximum of 20). The research team will
collect insights from patients on their
experience of implementing and using
the patient-facing CDS tool.
(5) Post-Use Interviews with Site
Champions ‘‘Evaluation Site Champion
Interview’’: This evaluation component
includes the collection of qualitative
data through thirty-minute interviews
with site leads (up to a maximum of 15)
and site visits during which the research
team will collect insights from providers
and patients on their experience of
implementing and using the clinicalfacing and patient-facing CDS tools from
the perspective of the site champions.

To achieve the goals of this project the following data collections

qualitative data through a short survey with primary care providers who
used the clinician-facing CDS tool for chronic pain management (up to a
maximum of 60). The research team will collect insights from providers
on their experience of implementing and using the clinician-facing CDS
tool for chronic pain management. The survey will be accessible in both
online and paper formats.

pain management (up to a maximum of 150). The research team will
collect insights from patients on their experience of implementing and
using patient-facing CDS. The survey will be accessible in both online

patients who used the patient-facing CDS tool for pain management (up
to a maximum of 20). The research team will collect insights from
patients on their experience of implementing and using the patient-
facing CDS tool.
(5) Post-Use Interviews with Site Champions ``Evaluation Site
Champion Interview'': This evaluation component includes the collection
of qualitative data through thirty-minute interviews with site leads
(up to a maximum of 15) and site visits during which the research team
will collect insights from providers and patients on their experience
