Post-Operative Prescription Of Opioid Medications And Patient Education: A Pilot Study, Gavin Stormont, Alexandra Colvin, Shawna Boyle

Graduate Medical Education Research Journal

Abstract

Introduction:

Opioid medications are essential in the management of pain. 80-85% of surgical patients and 51% of inpatients are discharged with opioid prescriptions. With increased prescriptions, an increase in opioid abuse and overdose was identified. In 2018, nearly 47,000 deaths were reported secondary to opioids. Also, in 2015, 504 billion dollars were spent on the opioid crisis.

Our aim was to determine if our division, urology, was prescribing opioids appropriately in the post-operative setting. We sought to identify gaps in patient knowledge of opioid risks, storage, and disposal.

Methods:

Our institution initiated an after-visit summary (AVS) detailing opioid abuse, …
