The Early Pain Intervention after Knee replacement (EPIK) model is being developed, informed by the effective and cost\u2010effective UK Support and Treatment After Replacement care pathway and extensive multistakeholder engagement. Before evaluating the EPIK model of care in a randomized controlled trial, it must be adapted for the Australian context. This qualitative study aimed to explore stakeholders\u2019 perspectives to inform this adaptation.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This qualitative descriptive study, guided by a subtle realist ontologic stance and a pragmatic epistemology, used semistructured interviews with key stakeholders across Australia. A preinterview screening questionnaire captured demographic, clinical, and professional characteristics which informed purposive sampling to ensure diverse views. Interviews were audio\u2010recorded, transcribed verbatim, and analyzed using inductive analysis.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Sixty\u2010one participants were interviewed (9 patients, 20 physiotherapists, 15 orthopedic surgeons, 14 general practitioners, 1 nurse, and 2 health fund managers) across all six states and the Australian Capital Territory, with 75% residing in metropolitan areas. We identified four key themes: (1) living with pain after TKR, (2) acceptability and value of EPIK, (3) defining the scope of the EPIK care coordinator, and (4) infrastructure and system\u2010level challenges.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The EPIK model was well accepted by stakeholders as the first approach designed to improve care coordination for Australians with persistent pain after TKR, with potential to support a more efficient and patient\u2010centered health care system. These insights will inform the EPIK model, which will be tested in a registry\u2010nested randomized controlled trial.<\/jats:p>\n
