Brief summary (from the registry)
Chronic pain is highly prevalent, compromises quality of life, and increases care utilization. Primary care providers are challenged to provide effective treatments, use opioid therapy appropriately, and address the adverse consequences of pain. Technology-enabled decision support tools may provide a means to improve pain management in primary care. The objective of this study was to evaluate a novel electronic health record (EHR)-based decision support tool-plus-education intervention for pain management in primary care.
