简要总结
The goal of this research is to investigate the impact of changing opioid analgesic prescribing defaults on the quantity of opioids prescribed for acute non-cancer pain in adult dentistry settings. We will change prescribing defaults for select short-acting opioid analgesics including immediate release oxycodone and hydrocodone as well as codeine and tramadol, including their co-formulations with acetaminophen. In a cluster-randomized trial of three Montefiore Medical Center dentistry sites, we will evaluate the impact of this intervention on patient-level outcomes using 18 months of data (6 months pre-intervention and 12 months post-intervention).

研究组 & 干预措施
10-pill default
The intervention condition consists of a change to the electronic health record so that new opioid analgesic prescriptions automatically default to 10 pills (i.e., the "quantity dispensed" field is pre-populated). This value is modifiable by providers who can tailor the prescription based on clinical factors.
干预措施: Change in electronic health record default for new opioid analgesic prescriptions (Other)
5-pill default
New opioid analgesic prescriptions will automatically default to 5 pills.
干预措施: Change in electronic health record default for new opioid analgesic prescriptions (Other)
Standard of care
The control condition will be the usual electronic health record interface. The default number of pills varies by medication, most medications currently have either a blank default or a default of 30 pills.
