“"optimizing acute post-operative dental pain management using new health information technology:this study proposes an innovative solution to optimize the quality of dental pain monitoring and management by implementing mobile phone technology to monitor patients pain during the critical acute postoperative phase after a dental procedure. The increased collection and utilization of pro data will help improve dental care delivery quality, patient-dentist communication, patient engagement, and patient satisfaction, as well as reduce unnecessary opioid rxs in society by enabling providers to explore modifying prescribing behaviors. Our hypothesis is a proactive approach to post-op pain assessment will lead to prompted identification of sub-optimal pain experiences (moderate to severe pain intensity), enabling providers to intervene by starting a new or modify existing analgesic regimens without preemptively prescribing opioids. We hypothesize that this will reduce unnecessary patient suffering, and increasing overall pain management satisfaction.”
