Avoiding Opioid Misuse After Surgery in the Era of the Opioid Epidemic : Defining the New Normal.
Abstract
Chronic pain patients at risk of addiction can be identified through pre-prescription screening with the opioid risk tool (ORT); there is no equivalent for surgical patients. Our aims were to validate the ORT in the surgical population and assess the impact of patient education on compliance with proper storage and disposal (S&D) of unused opioid therapy (UOT).
