Study Summary
Unnecessary opioid prescriptions for postoperative pain can increase the risk for new, persistent opioid use and dependence. Published literature suggests that most patients undergoing thyroid or parathyroid surgery can have their pain effectively managed without opioids following hospital discharge. The purpose of this quasi-experimental, quality improvement study is to develop, implement, and measure the impact of a quality improvement bundle that consists of (1) patient education, (2) provider education, and (3) electronic health record (EHR) enhancements. The proportion of patients who receive new opioid discharge prescriptions for pain management following thyroid or parathyroid surgery at Houston Methodist Hospital for up to 6 months following bundle implementation will be compared to a historical control group.
