About the Six Building Blocks Program

Most patients taking opioids for chronic pain are managed by primary care providers and their staff. Many practices are looking for help in managing their patients using chronic opioid therapy. To meet this need, AHRQ funded the development of the Six Building Blocks Link to Exit Disclaimer through grant numbers R18 HS23750-01, R18 HS23750-02, and R18 HS23750-0. Additional funding was provided by Washington State Department of Health subcontract (HED23124) of Cooperative U17CE002734, funded by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The Six Building Blocks program was originally developed in collaboration with the WWAMI region Practice Research Network, funded by the Institute of Translational Health Sciences (UL1 TR002319).
The Six Building Blocks Link to Exit Disclaimer website is for people interested in improving the care of patients using chronic opioid therapy, such as:
  • Clinicians and staff.
  • Quality improvement personnel.
  • Practice coaches.
  • Clinic administrators.
The website provides a structured systems-based approach for improving management of patients on chronic opioid therapy, called the Six Building Blocks Link to Exit Disclaimer:
  • Demonstrate leadership support and develop consensus.
  • Revise and implement policies, patient agreements, and workflows.
  • Proactively track and monitor patient care.
  • Implement planned, patient-centered visits.
  • Develop resources to care for complex patients.
  • Measure implementation success.
Additional tools include a self-assessment, an implementation guide, and links to helpful resources.
