Trial Summary

What is the purpose of this trial?

This is a prospective pilot trial to evaluate a new electronic medical record based intervention to improve discharges after surgery. The investigators hypothesize that standard discharge medications after surgery will help to optimize opioid prescribing and potentially decrease healthcare utilization in the first 30 days after surgery.

Eligibility Criteria

This trial is for adults aged 18 and over who are undergoing certain general surgical procedures. It's designed to see if a new electronic system can help manage medications after surgery better.

Inclusion Criteria

I am over 18 and had certain general surgery procedures.

Exclusion Criteria

I am under 18 years old.

Participant Groups

The study is testing an electronic medical record-based discharge medication order set, aiming to optimize opioid prescribing post-surgery and potentially reduce healthcare use within the first month after surgery.

Group I: Intervention Experimental Treatment 1 Intervention

New electronic medical record based discharge medication order set.

Group II: Control Active Control 1 Intervention
