A statewide effort to treat the pain of surgery patients without increasing their risk of long-term dependence on opioids has paid off in Michigan. In less than two years, the effort, driven by the Opioid Prescribing Engagement Network and the Michigan Surgical Quality Collaborative, led to a 56% reduction in the amount of opioids patients received after having six different common operations, and a 26% drop
in the chance that they would still be filling opioid prescriptions months after their surgical pain should have eased. Both of those decreases
beat national trends for similar patients, according to a new study by
a U-M team.
