Reducing Post-Operative Opioid Prescribing in Southeastern North Carolina

2026年4月28日 更新者：University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill

Building an Implementation Science Network to Reduce Post-Operative Opioid Prescribing in Southeastern North Carolina

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.

详细说明

A stepped-wedge cluster randomized trial will be conducted across participating hospital sites in Southeastern North Carolina. Sites will transition sequentially from the control condition to the intervention condition based on randomization, until all clusters have completed the opioid stewardship intervention over a 10-week period.

During the control phase, opioid prescribing will continue according to existing practices. During the intervention phase, sites will implement a multi-component site-specific opioid stewardship intervention. The intervention includes dissemination of the Standard Opioid Prescribing (SOPS) Toolkit, quality improvement (QI) educational sessions, and benchmarked opioid prescribing performance reports generated from administrative claims data. These reports provide deidentified surgeon- and site-level prescribing summaries so that sites are able to see their current opioid prescribing levels.

The primary outcomes are the acceptability, feasibility, and effectiveness of the intervention assessed during and after implementation as determined from semi-structured interviews and surveys. Secondary outcomes include additional provider and patient opioid prescribing outcomes related to post-operative opioid fills by patients. This information will be obtained from administrative claims data. No patient information will be collected and no patient will be enrolled int eh study. These measures evaluate whether tailoring the opioid stewardship intervention to each hospital improves routine clinical practice and provider opioid prescribing.

描述

Inclusion Criteria:

Surgeon champions and identified change team members must be currently practicing at one of the sites participating in this study.

Patient representatives must be:

Proficient in the English language Prescribed opioids following a qualifying general surgery procedure (inpatient or outpatient laparoscopic appendectomy, inguinal/femoral hernia repair, umbilical hernia, bariatric/weight loss surgery, mastectomy, laparoscopic cholecystectomy, laparoscopic colectomy, lipoma/soft tissue tumor excision, and anal/rectal procedures).

No patients will be enrolled for this trial. However, claims data will be used to assess the claims based outcome measure (opioid prescribing).

Inclusion criteria for the claims analysis includes:

Patients greater than or equal to 18 at the time of a qualifying general surgery procedure either inpatient or outpatient (laparoscopic appendectomy; umbilical/ventral/inguinal/femoral hernia repair; bariatric/weight loss surgery; mastectomy; laparoscopic cholecystectomy; laparoscopic colectomy; lipoma/soft tissue tumor excision; anal/rectal procedures) based on procedure codes Patients must have continuous insurance coverage (including prescription drug coverage), 6 months before to 60 days post discharge to assess comorbidities and prescription drug fills.

Exclusion Criteria:

Patients with an opioid fill 6 months before the procedure. Patients who undergo a significant operation during the stay associated with their index procedure that would require additional pain management.

武器和干预

参与者组/臂
干预/治疗
其他：Usual Care (Control Period)
During the control phase of the stepped wedge cluster randomized trial, participating hospitals continue opioid prescribing according to existing local practices. Clinicians do not receive any components of the opioid stewardship intervention during this period. Each hospital contributes data to this arm prior to crossing over to the intervention phase based on randomized timing.
其他：Usual Care
Existing opioid prescribing practices and guidelines at each participating hospital site, with no additional educational, benchmarking, or quality improvement activities.
实验性的：Opioid Stewardship Intervention (Intervention Period)
During the intervention phase, hospitals implement a multi component opioid stewardship intervention after crossing over from the control condition according to randomized start time. Clinician participants at each site engage in the intervention for approximately 10 weeks. All hospitals eventually receive the intervention as part of the stepped wedge design.
行为的：Opioid Stewardship Intervention
A multi component intervention consisting of dissemination of the Standard Opioid Prescribing (SOPS) Toolkit, quality improvement educational sessions for clinicians, and benchmarked opioid prescribing performance reports generated from administrative claims data. Reports provide deidentified surgeon and site level summaries of opioid prescribing patterns.
