Background: Opioids prescribed for postoperative pain have exceeded patient need in the United States, playing a significant role in the opioid epidemic. In the preintervention phase of this project (September 2018 - March 2019), a chart review and patient survey revealed that patients were prescribed double the number of opioids they consumed following gynecologic surgery.
Objective: To ascertain whether an educational intervention recommending opiate prescriptions based on postoperative opioid use decreases gynecologic surgeons' opiate prescriptions.
