Improving Chicago Older Adult Opioid and Pain Management through Patient-centered Clinical Decision Support and Project ECHO®

I-COPE was developed to improve management of chronic pain, opioid use, and opioid use disorder among Chicago’s older adults. We hope to do this by creating tools for providers in the electronic health record and ways for providers and patients to engage in shared decision making. Shared decision making allows the patient’s opinions on pain management to be reflected in their care plan. This website contains information for both patients and providers.

The I-COPE team includes researchers at the University of Chicago and Access Community Health Network (ACCESS). ACCESS is a Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) with 35 sites that serve patients in the Chicagoland area. UChicago Medicine is a not-for-profit academic medical health system with outpatient clinics and physician practices throughout Chicago, Chicago suburbs, and Northwest Indiana.

This tool was developed as part of AHRQ grant R18 HS027910
