Clinical decision support design seeds to support chronic pain treatment

Design Seed	Description
Information accessible in a single EHR location	Pain-related information aggregated and organized in a single view in the EHR (e.g., a patient-level chronic pain dashboard)
Information organized in tables	Pain-related information organized in tables (e.g., a treatment options table or medication table)
Hierarchical information organization	Pain-related information summarized briefly with interactive capability to drill down for more details as required (e.g., clicking on a specialist appointment date to display a visit note, hovering over a physical function outcome score displays an outcome trend over time)
Visual cues to focus attention	Cues focus clinicians’ attention on relevant changes, risks, or needed action (e.g., a urine drug screen result suggesting medication misuse, an overdue check of the prescription drug monitoring report, or a missed appointment for physical therapy)
