Lillemoe HA, et al. - Given the risk for persistent postoperative opioid use among patients undergoing oncologic surgery, researchers sought to characterize provider perceptions regarding opioid-prescribing after oncologic procedures, as a quality improvement initiative. With a review of departmental data, they surveyed surgical oncology attending physicians, clinical fellows, and advanced practice providers (APPs) at a high-volume cancer center before and after educational sessions focusing on the opioid epidemic. Outcomes revealed that provider types varied in perioperative opioid-prescribing, with those most involved in daily care and discharge processes generally recommending more opioids. Lower discharge opioid recommendations were made by the providers after education with a thought that patients should stop receiving opioids sooner.
