1 Narcotic Stewardship Project Right Size Prescribing Surgical Services Clinical Program Douglas S. Swords MD Shelly Brimhall MSN Barbara Ostlund MSN Sathya Vijayakumar MBA-MS Jeannette Prochazska MSN Prem Narayanan MS David Skarda MD

2 Prescription Misuse is a Serious Problem Opioid overdose now the leading cause of injury related deaths in the United States (surpassing MVA s) Opioid overdose deaths quadrupled in the last 15 years 55% of opioid users received pills for free from a family member or friend who had excess pills Persistent opioid use after surgery - 6%

3 Surgeons: Gatekeepers to Prescription Opioids Annals of Surgery April, 2017 Issue.

4 Surgeons Swinging pendulum Law of unintended consequences No refills No call-in prescriptions Patient satisfaction scores Overprescribe Want to control pain Trust patients Don t want to be called for more at 10:00 pm Difficult to give second prescriptions HCAHPS scores matter Mix narcotic naïve and narcotic exposed patients We might prescribe fewer if we knew how many patients take.

5 Challenge Accepted

6 How Intermountain is addressing Utah s opioid epidemic: It s time for courage and leadership on our part Opioid Summit Opioid Community Collaborative Medication disposal drop boxes Naloxone rescue kits Increased caregiver training Pain Services Clinical Service New prescribing recommendations - 40% reduction Increased education alternative pain management strategies Surgical Services Clinical Program Narcotic Initiative Surgical Patient Pain Med Survey Right Size opioid prescribing recommendations - by procedure/procedure type (based on data collected)

7 Current Process: Rolled out to all Intermountain facilities on icentra Began Jan. 9, 2017 Patient provides address 2 weeks postop survey sent out Exclusions for now C-Sections (L&D), Endoscopy & CT Patients Averaging 31% survey response rate

8 Education How do we let patients know they will receive a survey? Address in Preop (PAT) phone call (scripting provided) Address in Post-op (discharge) phone call (scripting provided) Provide patients with a rack-card Rack-cards in OR waiting area for family members Inpatients Included on MAWDS discharge teaching sheet & can also print info with discharge teaching sheets

9 icentra additions initiated March 9, 2017 Scripting dialog SDS/PACU Scripting about the Narcotic Survey now displays on the Preadmission Assessment and the Postop/Procedure phone call pages. The nurse making the phone call uses this verbiage to inform patients that they will receive a survey about their narcotic usage after surgery.

10 Rack-Card

11 Intermountain Pain Medication Patient Survey Example

12 2017 Goal: Increase opioid stewardship, reduce excess opioids in the community, and decrease opioid misuse/abuse. Method: Use patient-reported feedback to discover the quantity of opioids used by patients and their opioid-naïve status. Cross-reference patient-reported data with enterprise data warehouse opioids prescribed and surgical records to discover use and procedure comparisons. Propose ideal opioid prescription quantities (ranges by procedure/procedure types) As of Wednesday, November 29, 2017: We sent 36,415 initial surveys Patients completed 11,113 surveys Average Initial survey response rate of 30.52%

13 Survey responses Duration of Opioid Use Prior to Surgery?

14 Do you feel your pain was well controlled?

15 Survey Responses Was Your Pain Well Controlled? Pain Control Responses Pain Control Response Opioid Naïve Opioid Exposed Strongly Agree 77.50% 22.50% Agree 71.29% 28.71% Neutral 69.12% 30.88% Disagree 54.55% 45.45% Strongly Disagree 40.00% 60.00%

16 What have you done with leftover tablets (or liquid) of your opioid pain medication?

17 Did you receive instructions after your surgery or from the pharmacy regarding how to properly dispose of any unused opioid pain medication?

18 Intermountain drop boxes yield over 6,400 lbs. unused meds as of August 17, 2016

19 For your safety and the safety of your family and the community, we recommend that you Take any remaining pain medication to a safe disposal drop box located at Intermountain Community Pharmacy locations or other sites across the region. Use the Safe Disposal: Drop-off Locator to find a drop-off location near you:

20 Clinician Education Has Started: Mid November sent out first dosing recommendation letters to: Gen Surg ENT Gyn Urology Addition of Obstetric (C-sections & Vag-deliveries) population to the Patient Pain Medication Survey

27 Surgeon Messaging Now Right Size Prescribing Know how many doses patients use after the operation Know if you patient has been taking narcotics before your operation DOPL CSD Consider Naloxone for patients who have been taking narcotics before the operation and may have a respiratory/pain tolerance development differential

28 Surgeon Messaging Future Right Size Prescribing Prescribe the 2x the mean consumed with a partial fill of 1x the mean consumed Tailor opioid prescriptions to patient s genetic phenotype Further pain medication prescriptions should be from the PCP

29 Success

30 Consequences Intended: Decrease deaths Decrease the development of new addiction Decrease cost Unintended: Increase the value of prescription narcotics Supply/demand Drive current misusers to alternatives Injection Impurities
