Evaluating a Prototype Clinical Decision Support Tool for Chronic Pain Treatment in Primary Care.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

The Chronic Pain Treatment Tracker (Tx Tracker) is a prototype decision support tool to aid primary care clinicians when caring for patients with chronic noncancer pain.

We conducted 12 semi-structured interviews with primary care clinicians from four health systems in Indiana.

The interviews included exploration of Tx Tracker using a think-aloud approach and a clinical scenario. Clinicians were presented with a patient scenario and asked to use Tx Tracker to make a treatment
