24-hour Oral Morphine Equivalent Based Opioid Prescribing After Surgery

At the time of writing the discharge prescription for a patient the provider will receive a best practice alert (BPA) to consider prescribing the usual medications for pain management after discharge.

The best practice alert (BPA) Prescription Tool will only make a suggestion to the provider if the patient may be considered for a lower post-discharge opioid dose. Providers may still choose to prescribe a higher dose as clinically indicated.
