Objective: The aim of this study was to describe the effect of opioid prescribing guideline implementation for elective spine surgery cases on prescribing and consumption behaviors in a multisite academic hospital system. The effectiveness of an automated text messaging system as a tool to monitor postoperative opioid use and pain outcomes and inform guideline development and deployment is also evaluated.

Methods: The authors conducted a prospective study of postoperative opioid use behaviors and patient-reported outcomes for 2101 elective spine surgery cases between December 2018 and March 2022, prior to and following the implementation of opioid-prescribing guidelines in February 2021 at three urban hospital sites within a large academic health system.
