Discrepancies in Written Versus Calculated Durations in Opioid Prescriptions: Pre-Post Study

Discrepancies in Written Versus Calculated Durations in Opioid Prescriptions: Pre-Post Study

The purpose of this research is to examine if there are differences between the duration of treatment as written in an opioid prescription versus the duration associated with the dosing frequency and number of pills dispensed. That is to say, we examined how long the number of dispensed pills at the prescribed frequency would last (ie, the calculated duration) and compared that to the duration documented by the prescriber (ie, the written duration) for opioids ordered by providers at our institution.
