Results to 88% in April 2019. February through April 2019 represents a 43% increase in goal from the same time period of 2018. Facility specific data during this time frame ranges from 67% to 99% compliance with goal. Conclusions Significant improvement is seen in orthopedic surgery opioid prescribing practices. This improvement was driven primarily through physician education, expectation setting, data sharing, and a strong partnership with Orthopedics leadership. Any additional improvement by the Best Practice Advisory is not yet reflected in the data set. Future efforts to improve prescribing and pain control include utilization of a multi-modal dashboard, an orthopedics Enhanced Recovery after Surgery (ERAS) program, and enhanced discharge education including guidance on tapering opioids and continuation of non-opioid agents. Data will be collected through the end of 2020 to monitor maintenance of improved prescribing habits.
