Optimizing evidence-based practice implementation: a case study on simulated patient protocols in long-term opioid therapy.
Article in Implementation science communications, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundSubstantial work has been done to update or create evidence-based practices (EBPs) in the changing health care landscape. However, the success of these EBPs is limited by low levels of clinician implementation.
objectiveThe goal of this study is to describe the use of standardized/simulated patient/person (SP) methodology as a framework to develop implementation bundles to increase the effectiveness, sustainability, and reproducibility of EBPs across health care clinicians.
designWe observed 12 clinicians' first-time experiences with six unique decision-making algorithms, developed previously using rigorous Delphi methods, for use with patients exhibiting concerning behaviors associated with long-term opioid therapy (LTOT) for chronic pain. Clinicians were paired with two SPs trained to portray individuals with one of the concerning behaviors addressed by the algorithms in a telehealth environment. The SP evaluations were followed by individual interviews, guided by the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR), with each of the clinician participants.
participantsTwelve primary care clinicians and 24 SPs in Western Pennsylvania. MAIN MEASUREMENT: The primary outcome was identifying likely facilitators for the successful implementation of the EBP using the SP methodology. Our secondary outcome was to assess the feasibility of using SPs to illuminate likely implementation barriers and facilitators.
resultsThe SP portrayal illuminated factors that were pertinent to address in the implementation bundle. SPs were realistic in their portrayal of patients with concerning behaviors associated with LTOT for chronic pain, but clinicians also noted that their patients in practice may have been more aggressive about their treatment plan.
conclusionsSP simulation provides unique opportunities for obtaining crucial feedback to identify best practices in the adoption of new EBPs for high-risk patients.
