NCT04584528

Brief Summary

The overall purpose of this proposed study is to improve management of vaso-occlusive episodes (VOEs) in adult EDs. We aim to implement NHLBI recommendations for VOE treatment by embedding Individualized Pain Plans (IPPs) in the electronic health record (EHR). The EHR-embedded IPP will serve as a record of patients' SCD genotype and will include analgesic medication recommendations developed by the SCD provider. In this project, we will provide access to the IPP for both adult patients with SCD and ED providers. The proposed multisite study will use a pre-post study design, with a core set of mandatory intervention components and strategies for each participating site and optional components and strategies to allow for intervention adaptation to local needs and resources. The EHR-embedded IPP will be available for all adult ED providers to use as their routine practice, and patients will be invited to participate and enroll in the study. We will use a simplified Technology Acceptance Model to explain the use of the IPP and the RE-AIM framework to assess the Reach, Effectiveness, Adoption, Implementation, and Maintenance of the intervention.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Change in Patient-perceived quality of ED pain treatment.

    Three questions from the Adult Sickle Cell Quality of Life Measure (ASCQ-Me) and Quality of Care (QOC) measure will be used to measure the patient perceived quality of ED pain treatment

    Baseline, 96 hours

Secondary Outcomes (5)

  • ED revisit rate as measured by EHR retrieval

    Day 7

  • ED revisit rate as measured by EHR retrieval

    Day 30

  • Hospital readmission rate measured by EHR retrieval

    Day 7

  • Hospital readmission rate measured by EHR retrieval

    Day 30

  • Time to first dose of pain medication measured by EHR retrieval

    Baseline

Study Arms (1)

EHR-embedded Individualized Pain Plan (IPP)

OTHER

The EHR embedded IPP will be made accessible to patients and ED providers at each study site.

Other: Electronic Health Record (EHR) Embedded Individualized Pain Plan (IPP)

Interventions

The IPPs will be developed by the Sickle Cell Disease providers at each study site based on patients' outpatient chronic opioid use and analgesic agent normally required for treatment of VOE in the ED. The Sickle Cell Disease provider will review the IPP with the patient, then upload the IPP to the patient's EHR in a location that will be accessible by the patient and ED provider. Each participating site will train patients and Emergency Department (ED) providers on how to access the IPP in the Electronic Health Record. The following required elements will be included in the EHR-embedded IPP: * Genotype * Individual pain plan-preferred analgesic agent, route, dose and dosing interval, last update time * Name and contact information for the SCD provider If the enrolled patient has a VOE visit at a nonparticipating ED, the patient will be able to access their IPP via the web or the patient portal app through their EHR. However, data will not be collected from these visits.

Sexall
Healthy VolunteersYes
Age GroupsAdult (18-64)

You may qualify if:

  • Age 18 years up to and including 45 years
