The Six Building Blocks program was developed by the University of Washington Department of Family Medicine and Kaiser Permanente Washington Health Research Institute. It provides an evidence-based quality improvement roadmap to help primary care teams implement effective, guideline-driven care for their chronic pain and long-term opioid therapy patients.

The Six Building Blocks can help anyone who is interested in improving the care of patients using long-term opioid therapy, such as:
- practice facilitators
- quality improvement personnel
- clinicians and staff
- clinic administrators

This website introduces the Six Building Blocks, provides tools and resources for improving care, and offers implementation guidance.
