PRescribing Interventions for Chronic pain using the Electronic health record (PRINCE): Study protocol.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Primary care is a frequent source of pain treatment and opioid prescribing. The objective of the Prescribing Interventions for Chronic Pain using the Electronic health record (PRINCE) study is to assess the effects of two behavioral economics-informed interventions embedded within the electronic health record (EHR) on guideline-concordant pain treatment and opioid prescribing decisions in primary care settings.

Methods

Setting: The setting for this study is 43 primary care clinics in Minnesota.

Design

The PRINCE study uses a cluster-randomized 2 × 2 factorial design to test the effects of two interventions. An adaptive design allows for the possibility of secondary randomization to test if interventions can be titrated while maintaining efficacy.
