Updated on 19 February 2024

Summary

The intent of this project is to develop a comprehensive opioid prescribing and pain management curriculum for surgery residents; to develop a method to provide surgery residents benchmarked feedback on individual opioid prescribing habits; and to determine if this curriculum and individualized feedback method reduce rates of opioid over-prescribing. We hypothesize that surgical residents who participate in this curriculum and receive individualized feedback will have lower opioid over-prescribing rates for selected procedures compared to historical controls.

Description

As a model for this project, successful efforts to curtail inappropriate use of antibiotics have previously demonstrated a framework of audit and feedback that is effective at reducing overprescribing. In multiple studies, prescribing habits were observed to improve towards evidence-based guidelines when prescribers were audited and received feedback on individual performance. It is our aim to develop a method to provide surgery residents with quarterly, benchmarked data of individual opioid prescribing habits for select procedures. To our knowledge, this project will be the first to apply this audit and feedback framework to post-operative opioid prescribing.
