Clinician Perceptions of Receiving Different Feedback # Clinician Perceptions of Receiving Different Forms of Feedback on their Opioid Prescribing _American Journal of Medical Quality_ 2022-12-29 ## Abstract Opioid misuse represents a major public health issue in the United States. One driver is over prescription for acute pain, with the size of initial prescription associated with subsequent long-term use. However, little work has been done to elicit clinician feedback about interventions to reduce opioid prescribing. To address this knowledge gap, qualitative analyses were conducted with clinicians who participated in a randomized controlled trial in which clinicians received monthly emailed feedback notifications about their opioid prescribing behaviors. Semi structured telephone interviews were conducted (N = 12) with urgent care (N = 7) and emergency department (N = 5) clinicians who participated in the trial between November 2020 and April 2021. Clinicians appreciated feedback about their prescribing behavior and found comparative data with peer clinicians to be most useful. Sharing opioid prescribing feedback with clinicians can be an acceptable way to address opioid prescribing among emergency and urgent care clinicians. ![Xiaowei (Sherry) Yan, Ph.D.](https://dyn.mktgcdn.com/p/NTWox_hkmxIRiqJEc5PXKeBkfR_WMtpSQbEI4J69Xls/fit=crop,gravity=auto,dpr=2,width=188,height=250,quality=100) Xiaowei (Sherry) Yan, Ph.D. Principal investigator [View profile](https://www.sutterhealth.org/research/investigators/xiaowei-sherry-yan-phd-1049681042) ## Research topics - [Addiction Pharmacology](https://www.sutterhealth.org/research-search-results?query=%22%5C%22Addiction+Pharmacology%5C%22%22) - [EHR Data](https://www.sutterhealth.org/research-search-results?query=%22%5C%22EHR+Data%5C%22%22) - [Medical Informatics](https://www.sutterhealth.org/research-search-results?query=%22%5C%22Medical+Informatics%5C%22%22) ## Related publications [View all publications](https://www.sutterhealth.org/research-search-results?verticalKey=research_publication) - Publication ### [Impact of implementing electronic prior authorization on medication filling in an electronic health record system in a large healthcare system](https://www.sutterhealth.org/research/publications/impact-of-implementing-electronic-prior-authorization-1055312848) Lauffenburger JC, Stults CD, Mudiganti S, Yan X, Dean-Gilley LM, He M, Tong A, Fischer MA J Am Med Inform Assoc.ocab119. doi: 10.1093/jamia/ocab119.
