Chronic Noncancer Pain | Other: Providers of Novel Care Other: Providers of Usual Care | Not Applicable |
The initiative has three components to aid clinicians' care of patients with chronic noncancer pain: (1) education, (2) standardized patient reported outcomes data collection, and (3) evidence-based brief treatment reminders. Practices will be randomized to either receive the three novel components (treatment group) or continue with usual care (control group).
Providers in the treatment group will be asked (a) to complete a series of six online education modules in pain care, (b) will be given access to new patient reported outcomes questionnaire data collected from patients within the electronic health record, (c) asked to review this data and related care recommendations during the patient visit, and (d) asked to complete baseline and monthly online surveys related to experiences and satisfaction with providing care to patients with chronic noncancer pain.
Providers in the control group will provide care as usual to patients and will be asked to complete baseline and monthly online surveys related to experiences and satisfaction with providing care to patients with chronic noncancer pain.
Primary study outcomes include comparison of treatment and control group provider and patient satisfaction surveys. Secondary outcome measures include provider referral rates, patient outcomes, patient treatments recommended/ordered, and patient service utilization/costs.

- Provider Satisfaction Survey [ Time Frame: Up to 15 months ]This is a 16 item web based questionnaire about general experiences and satisfaction with providing care to patients with chronic noncancer pain. Data will be collected at baseline (June 2014) and monthly thereafter through the end of the study period (July 2014 - September 2015). Provider satisfaction data for both the treatment and control groups will be compared.
- Patient Satisfaction Survey [ Time Frame: Up to 15 months ]This is a four to five question phone survey (depending on whether patient is seeing a provider in a treatment or control group) about general and pain-specific satisfaction with visit. Data will be collected after each visit for chronic noncancer pain through the study period (July 2014 - September 2015). Patient satisfaction data for both the treatment and control groups will be compared.
- Hospital Readmission Rates [ Time Frame: Up to 5 years ]The data will be collected retrospectively for a history of hospital readmission rates (June 2011 - June 2014). Once the new care model starts for the clinicians, data will be collected at baseline (July 2014) and at the end of the study period (September 2015) for an indication of trends. Data for both the treatment and control groups will be compared.
- Lab Orders and Results [ Time Frame: Up to 5 years ]The data will be collected retrospectively for a history of lab orders and results (June 2011 - June 2014). Once the new care model starts for the clinicians, data will be collected at baseline (July 2014) and at the end of the study period (September 2015) for an indication of trends. Data will be
- Prescribed and Dispensed Medications [ Time Frame: Up to 5 years ]The data will be collected retrospectively for a history of prescribed and dispensed medications (June 2011 - June 2015). Once the new care model starts for the clinicians, data will be collected at baseline (July 2014) and at the end of the study period (September 2015) for an indication of trends. Data for both the treatment and control groups will be compared.
- Pain Intensity [ Time Frame: Up to 5 years ]The data will be collected retrospectively for a history of pain intensity (June 2011 - June 2014). Once the new care model starts for the clinicians, data will be collected at baseline (July 2014) and at the end of the study period (September 2015) for an indication of trends. Data for both the treatment and control groups will be compared.
- Medical Costs [ Time Frame: Up to 5 years ]The data will be collected retrospectively for a history of medical costs (June 2011 - June 2014). Once the new care model starts for the clinicians, data will be collected at baseline (July 2014) and at the end of the study period (September 2015) for an indication of trends.This will include cost of pain related care for charge amounts and billed amounts for specialist services, hospital services, and utilization of non-physician services (e.g., pharmacy, physical therapy, etc.). Data for both the treatment and control groups will be compared.
- Health Care Utilization [ Time Frame: Up to 5 years ]The data will be collected retrospectively for a history of health care utilization (June 2011 - June 2014). Once the new care model starts for the clinicians, data will be collected at baseline (July 2014) and at the end of the study period (September 2015) for an indication of trends. This will include utilization of specialist services, hospital services, and utilization of non-physician services (e.g., pharmacy, physical therapy, etc.). Data for both the treatment and control groups will be compared.
- Pain Specialist Referral Rates [ Time Frame: Up to 5 years ]The data will be collected retrospectively for a history of pain specialist referral rates (June 2011 - June 2014). Once the new care model starts for the clinicians, data will be collected at baseline (July 2014) and at the end of the study period (September 2015) for an indication of trends. Data for both the treatment and control groups will be compared.
