Summary

This study tests whether a telehealth pain management program can help veterans who have surgery outside VA hospitals avoid becoming long-term opioid users. About 400 veterans having orthopedic surgery will either receive the program or standard care. The goal is to see if the program reduces opioid use beyond 90 days after surgery.

Inclusion Criteria: Aims 1 \& 3: * The investigators will include Veterans who are referred to the Veteran Community Care Program (VCCP) for an orthopedic surgery procedure from any VA medical center throughout VISN-19. * Additionally, these Veterans must be 18+ years of age who are not on chronic opioids at the time of surgery, and who have a VA primary care provider (PCP). Aim 2: * Veterans who received TPS (Aim 1) and referring VA Primary Care Providers. Exclusion Criteria: Aim 1: * The investigators will exclude Veterans who are scheduled for other types of surgical procedures, are on chronic opioid therapy before surgery, are on hospice or end-of-life care, are cognitively impaired, or unable to complete the follow-up visits for any other reason. Aim 2: * The investigators will exclude Veterans not randomized to the TPS Telehealth intervention of Aim 1. * Primary Care Providers will be excluded if they do not primarily work at the VA. Aim 3: * The investigators will exclude Veterans who were not randomized to the TPS Telehealth intervention. * Veterans who experienced a major complication during the perioperative period or experienced an extended length of stay (LOS) based on exceeding the upper interquartile range of median LOS. * Exclusion criteria for this aim also include patients on hospice care, individuals discharged to a care facility, and those with scheduled readmissions for follow up procedure(s) within 90-days.
