Opioid Prescribing Data Entry into the AHSQC

Todd Harris discusses why it is so important to enter opioid prescribing data into the AHSQC database. It takes less than 30 seconds to document the preoperative questions as well as the postoperative number of opioids prescribed ('No More Than 10') and the number used by the patient. By compiling this data, ongoing research can help change the prescribing behavior of surgeons across the country and have a positive impact on countless patients.
