Implementation of a Post-Surgical, Multimodal Analgesia Pain Management Order Set in Opioid-Naive Patients.

Background: Perioperative pain management guidelines recommend using multimodal analgesia to improve pain control while reducing opioids administered. The primary objective of this study was to assess whether implementing multimodal analgesia on general surgery postoperative pain management order sets would reduce opioid quantities postoperatively.

Methods: Opioid-naive patients undergoing nonemergent general surgery procedures were evaluated before and after order set revision.
