IOPP For Post CS Opioids “New Data”

At time of post cesarean discharge, most providers prescribe a fixed number of opioid tablets. However, past data has shown that most patients don't use all the opioids they are prescribed. This leads to an excess of opioids in the community, which can ultimately lead to misuse and diversion. In this episode, we will highlight a new publication from the Green Journal (Obstet Gynecol) exemplifying an adoptable strategy using a individualized opioid prescribing protocol (IOPP). While this was published ahead of print on June 10, 2024, the concept of IOPP is not "new" at all. Listen in for details.
