Documentation and potential tools in long-term opioid therapy for pain
Type: Journal Article
Year: 2007
Publication Place: United States
Abstract: The field of pain medicine is experiencing increased pressure from regulatory agencies and other sources regarding the continuation, or even initial use, of opioids in pain patients. Therefore, it is essential that pain clinicians provide rationale for engaging in this modality of treatment and provide ample documentation in this regard. Thus, assessment and documentation are cornerstones for both protecting your practice and obtaining optimal patient outcomes while on opioid therapy. Several potential tools and documentation strategies are discussed that will aid clinicians in providing evidence for the continuation of this type of treatment for their patients.

Documenting and improving opioid treatment: the Prescription Opioid Documentation and Surveillance (PODS) System
Type: Journal Article
Year: 2009
Publication Place: England
Abstract: OBJECTIVE: To demonstrate that a computer-assisted survey instrument offers an efficient means of patient evaluation when initiating opioid therapy. Design. We report on our experience with the Prescription Opioid Documentation and Surveillance (PODS) System, a medical informatics tool that uses validated questionnaires to collect comprehensive clinical and behavioral information from patients with chronic pain. SETTING AND PATIENTS: Over a 39-month period, 1,400 patients entered data into PODS using a computer touch screen in a Veterans Administration Pain Clinic. MEASURES: Indices of pain intensity, function, mental health status, addiction history, and the potential for prescription opioid abuse were formatted for immediate inclusion into the medical record. RESULTS: The PODS system offers physicians a tool for systematic evaluation prior to prescribing opioids The system generates an opioid agreement between the patient and physician, and provides medicolegal documentation of the patient's condition. CONCLUSIONS: PODS should improve patient care, refine pain control, and reduce the incidence of opioid abuse. Research to determine how PODS affects clinical care is underway. Specially, the effectiveness and efficiency of providing care utilizing PODS will be evaluated in future studies.

Does a one-day educational training session influence primary care pediatricians' mental health practice procedures in response to a community disaster? Results from the reaching children initiative (RCI)
Type: Journal Article
Year: 2013
Publication Place: United States
Abstract: Although many children and adolescents need assessment and treatment for psychological problems, few get such treatment from mental health specialists after a community disaster Research suggests that a very large proportion of children are seen in pediatric primary care settings and that pediatricians can provide appropriate care for many social and emotional problems in children. However few pediatricians have received training in providing this help. The focus of this study was to assess whether brief training to increase the capacity of primary care pediatricians (PCPs) to respond to the social or emotional problems of children after the World Trade Center terrorist attacks improved the quality of services to disaster-affected children. Pediatricians (N = 137) attended a one-day training workshop covering best practice treatments for mental health problems with an emphasis on trauma, bereavement, and medication use. We surveyed attendees prior to training, immediately post-intervention, and 1- and 6-months later. At 6-months post-intervention, 64% of the primary care clinicians reported instituting practice changes recommended during training. Reported use of formal mental health screening instruments increased, but greater use of medications was more limited. Although participants in the immediate post-intervention survey indicated strong agreement with the desirability to implement specific practice changes, the perceived desirability of such changes declined substantially at the 6-month follow-up. Changes in PCPs 'mental health related practice procedures can be facilitated by brief educational interventions, but continued training and support may be needed. We discuss these results relative to preparedness for community disasters.

Does depression diagnosis and antidepressant prescribing vary by location? Analysis of ethnic density associations using a large primary-care dataset
Type: Journal Article
Year: 2016
Publication Place: England
Abstract: BACKGROUND: Studies have linked ethnic differences in depression rates with neighbourhood ethnic density although results have not been conclusive. We looked at this using a novel approach analysing whole population data covering just over one million GP patients in four London boroughs. METHOD: Using a dataset of GP records for all patients registered in Lambeth, Hackney, Tower Hamlets and Newham in 2013 we investigated new diagnoses of depression and antidepressant use for: Indian, Pakistani, Bangladeshi, black Caribbean and black African patients. Neighbourhood effects were assessed independently of GP practice using a cross-classified multilevel model. RESULTS: Black and minority ethnic groups are up to four times less likely to be newly diagnosed with depression or prescribed antidepressants compared to white British patients. We found an inverse relationship between neighbourhood ethnic density and new depression diagnosis for some groups, where an increase of 10% own-ethnic density was associated with a statistically significant (p < 0.05) reduced odds of depression for Pakistani [odds ratio (OR) 0.81, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.70-0.93], Indian (OR 0.88, CI 0.81-0.95), African (OR 0.88, CI 0.78-0.99) and Bangladeshi (OR 0.94, CI 0.90-0.99) patients. Black Caribbean patients, however, showed the opposite effect (OR 1.26, CI 1.09-1.46). The results for antidepressant use were very similar although the corresponding effect for black Caribbeans was no longer statistically significant (p = 0.07). CONCLUSION: New depression diagnosis and antidepressant use was shown to be less likely in areas of higher own-ethnic density for some, but not all, ethnic groups.
