Evaluation of a hospital-based opioid stewardship program on high-risk opioid prescribing in a Canadian setting: an interrupted time series analysis
The implementation of a new EHR concordant with that of the OSP may have impacted our study's results. While our research suggests the OSP reduced high-dose opioid prescribing, other indicators impacted by the EHR system did not benefit as highly from the OSP. Nevertheless, the OSP proved able to rapidly respond to unintended consequences by introducing interventions to reduce concurrent opioid and sedative prescribing.
