A Clinician-Focused Nudging Intervention to Optimize Post-Surgical Prescribing

Surgical Procedure, Unspecified Clinical Trial

Official title:
A Clinician-Focused Nudging Intervention to Optimize Post-Surgical Prescribing

Clinical Trial Summary

This is a pilot single site randomized controlled trial to assess the feasibility and acceptability of a nudging intervention providing surgeons with procedure-specific feedback regarding patients' postoperative opioid prescription-to-consumption ratio in individuals 18 years of age and older.

Clinical Trial Description

The trial will randomize surgeons to either intervention (direct feedback) or control (no direct feedback) arms. Surgeons who frequently performing specific elective general, gynecologic, orthopedic, and neurologic surgeries at Vanderbilt University Medical Center will be identified during a 30-day study lead-in period. Then, patients aged at least 18 years undergoing these surgeries at VUMC during study days 1-60 will be contacted by telephone 14 days postoperatively (study days 15-74) and asked to perform an opioid pill count; they will also be asked about opioid refills, satisfaction with analgesia, emergency room visits or hospitalizations for pain, and opioid misuse. The electronic medical record will be also queried for the size of the initial postoperative opioid prescription as well as evidence of any refills for each enrolled subject. Following the first block of surgeries and associated patient follow-up (study days 1-74), data will be analyzed and then surgeons will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to the intervention or control arms. Randomization will be stratified by both surgical specialty and by mean opioid prescription size during the initial block of surgeries. After study day 97, surgeons in the intervention arm will be provided procedure-specific direct feedback on opioid prescribing and consumption for their patients who had surgery during days 1-60. After this intervention, the trial will assess pre-post change in opioid prescription size (measured in oral morphine equivalents) from baseline between the two groups for surgeries performed during days 108-167. ;
