Feedback for Surgeons Curbs Excess Opioid Prescriptions Scripts
Tailored feedback to surgeons dramatically cuts excessive opioid prescriptions for common surgeries, aligning them with evidence-based guidelines without affecting patient pain control. This approach offers a promising strategy to combat the opioid crisis by aligning prescribing practices with evidence-based guidelines, addressing the critical issue of overprescribing, where excessive opioid prescriptions can lead to harmful side effects and can lead to dependence in some patients or diversion of unused pills. The findings, by researchers in the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania, were published today in JAMA Surgery.
