RESUMEN

Over 5 million Americans currently abuse prescription opioids. Patients' first exposure to opioids is often after surgery. Few opioid guidelines account for the challenges to health care institutions that serve wide catchment areas. We standardized postoperative opioid prescribing recommendations amongst surgical providers at our institutions and analyzed postoperative prescribing habits. The Upstate New York Surgical Quality Improvement (UNYSQI) collaborative met with surgical champions from 16 hospitals to standardize opioid prescribing for 21 surgical procedures. The guidelines were distributed to all surgical care providers at participating institutions. 581,465 pills were dispensed for 12,672 surgeries (average of 45.9 pills per procedure) before implementation. Post-implementation, 1,097,849 pills were dispensed for 28,772 surgeries (average of 38.2 pills per surgery) with over 222,000 fewer pills being prescribed. Our project suggests opioid prescribing guidelines for institutions that serve diverse communities.
