Abstract
There is limited research on how the opioid epidemic and consequent risk reduction policies have impacted pain management among cancer patients. The purpose of this study is to analyze how an Opioid Safety Initiative (OSI) implemented at the Veteran's Health Administration (VHA) affected opioid prescribing patterns and opioid-related toxicity.
