About
The investigators conducted a prospective, block-randomized study to determine whether and to what extent changes in the default settings in the electronic medical record (EMR) affect opioid prescriptions for patients discharged from emergency departments (EDs).
Full description
In two large, urban emergency departments, we randomly altered the pre-populated dispense quantities of discharge prescriptions for commonly-prescribed opioids over a series of five 4-week blocks. These changes were made without announcement, and providers were not informed of the study itself.
