Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: Care Continuity Program + EducationExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Participating clinics (and their prescribers and patients) will be randomly selected to implement the Care Continuity Program (CCP) intervention, at which time prescribers will view an Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) accredited educational video about the safe initiation, continuation, and discontinuation of opioid therapy, as well as the data elements required by law and regulation to be included in the medical records of patients prescribed opioids. Then patients will receive welcome letters and be required to complete CCP self-assessments before each appointment. Prescribers will begin using the generated CCP summary page at each appointment to help make decisions about initiating or maintaining an opioid prescription for an individual patient.
Group II: Education AloneActive Control1 Intervention
Participating clinics (and their prescribers and patients) will be randomly selected to the control group, at which time prescribers will view an Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) accredited educational video about the safe initiation, continuation, and discontinuation of opioid therapy, as well as the data elements required by law and regulation to be included in the medical records of patients prescribed opioids. Then patients and prescribers will continue treatment as usual in their clinic.
