Abstract
The manuscript entitled “Opioid-Free Discharge is Not Associated with Increased Unplanned Healthcare Encounters after Ureteroscopy: Results from a Statewide Quality Improvement Collaborative” from the University of Michigan demonstrates how a concerted effort by a healthcare system can lead to significant change. In the state of Michigan surgeons are incentivized by the major insurance carrier to limit narcotic prescribing; however, incentivizing surgeons is not enough for a program to succeed. Success requires buy in from all parties- physicians, nurses, residents, and physician's assistants- along with proactive patient education.
