AHRQ--Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality: Advancing Excellence in Health Care

AHRQ Advances Pain Management Through Greater Use of Digital Technology. Factors to Consider in Managing Chronic Pain, a new interoperable digital tool for clinicians that consolidates pain-related information scattered throughout a patient’s electronic health record, is the subject of an additional blog post by Director Khanna. The free, open-source software package is accessible through AHRQ’s CDS Connect initiative, a platform for developing and sharing interoperable clinical decision support resources. The tool’s dashboard helps clinicians quickly access vital information, such as patients’ pertinent medical histories, pain assessments, historical treatments and potential risks. It is estimated that 50 million American adults experience chronic pain daily, with a financial cost of treating pain between $560 billion and $635 billion annually.
