Summary

The goals of this exploratory study are to determine the feasibility of integrating electronic clinical decision support into routine clinical pain care for adults in the ED setting and gather data on whether or not such clinical decision support is effective in improving pain care outcomes in the ED. The use of an electronic pain care alert (ePCA) prompting doctors to provide acute pain care for adult patients with complaints of severe abdominal pain will be compared to patients seen by clinicians with routine ED care.

Hypothesis: The ePCA will improve the quality of acute pain care for patients.
