Official title
Building an Implementation Science Network to Reduce Post-Operative Opioid Prescribing in Southeastern North Carolina
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
The goal of this stepped-wedge cluster randomized trial is to evaluate whether an opioid stewardship intervention improves post-operative opioid prescribing practices. Participants will include surgeon champions and identified change team members (e.g., pharmacists, hospitalists, nurses, advanced practice providers, anesthesiologists, etc.) and patient representatives at designated hospital sites in North Carolina. The main questions it aims to answer are: I. Does the intervention reduce postoperative opioid prescribing behavior at the surgeon and hospital level? II. Is the intervention acceptable, feasible, and effective for implementation among participating hospitals? Researchers will compare opioid prescribing and implementation outcomes across sites before and after implementation using a stepped-wedge cluster randomized design, in which sites are randomly assigned to different intervention start times. Participants will attend educational sessions delivered, introduce the Standard Opioid Prescribing (SOPS) Toolkit into their clinical practice, review benchmarked, deidentified opioid prescribing performance reports that use administrative claims data (secondary data source, data not collected or shared between hospitals), and complete surveys assessing intervention acceptability, feasibility, and effectiveness. Preliminary effectiveness will be assessed through reduction of opioid prescriptions using administrative claims data.
