Filter by:This study will test e-mails to encourage engagement with the Minnesota prescription monitoring program (PMP/PDMP) and will evaluate the effect of these e-mails on PMP/PDMP use and controlled substance prescribing.
This randomized controlled trial will test whether an academic detailing educational outreach intervention (referred to as "academic detailing" throughout) decreases opioid prescribing to patients aged 13-30 years among high-prescribing dentists in Southeast Michigan. The primary objective is to evaluate whether an academic detailing intervention reduces the number of dispensed opioid prescriptions to patients aged 13-30 years.
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.
This is a prospective qualitative study of obstetric clinicians examining factors which influence their approach to postpartum pain management, their perspectives and preferences of interventions aimed at reducing opioid use, and the biases which may contribute disparities in this setting.
This study tests the effectiveness of two email-based behavioral nudges, one based on peer behavior and one based on best practice guidelines, in reducing excessive opioid prescriptions after surgery. It will be conducted in three surgical specialties (general surgery, orthopedic surgery, and obstetric/gynecological surgery) at 19 hospitals within one healthcare system. These specialties will each be randomized to a control group or one of two nudge groups. Each month for one year, surgeons in the nudge groups will receive emails comparing their opioid prescribing either to their peers' prescribing or to prescribing guidelines. Both types of email-based nudges are expected to reduce opioid prescribing after surgery.
The objective of this project is to leverage the Michigan Surgical Quality Collaborative's (MSQC) existing network and surgeon performance feedback platform to improve opioid prescribing practices for surgeons within the network found to be prescribing in a manner discordant with published guidelines and to inform best practices for future surgical quality improvement initiatives. The study is being completed to learn more about the effectiveness, feasibility, and acceptability and that the goal is both to evaluate how effective this intervention and mechanism are for changing surgeon opioid prescribing behavior and to inform best practices for future quality initiatives. The study hypothesizes that provider-level feedback will allow clinicians to tailor postoperative prescribing more closely to patient consumption, and reduce excess postoperative prescribing. The cohort of surgeons which have been identified as outliers by the Michigan Surgical Quality Collaborative (MSQC) will be be invited to participate in this trial. The study team will send surgeons belonging to sites that signed the Exhibit B-1 form the provider-level push notifications (98 participants). In this study de-identified prescribing data will also be analyzed for sites that do not sign the Exhibit B-1 form (105 participants). The study team will approach 98 surgeons receiving the provider-level push notifications in one wave.
This study will characterize patient pain and opioid use after an initial opioid prescription for acute pain.
The purpose of this project is to improve quality of care for dental patients in the state of Michigan. This will be achieved through educating dentists about best practices for opioid prescribing and includes three continuing education (CE) credits and one (or two) academic detailing (AD) visits. The cohort of 90 dentists who are enrolled to the CE will be randomized into two groups upon enrollment. One of these groups, half of the cohort, will receive the academic detailing. A report will be written highlighting key findings from this project and best practices for treating patients after dental care.The quality of care for dental patients will be improved by sharing this information with both participating and non-participating dental providers statewide through reports, manuscripts, and presentations. These data will inform best practice with the potential for future academic detailing and educational interventions for dentists and oral surgeons.
