About

Previously, the study team evaluated the implementation and effectiveness of the Johns Hopkins Perioperative Pain Program (PPP), which coordinates continuum of care for surgical patients on chronic opioid therapy throughout the perioperative period. Based on the findings of that project, the study team developed an educational intervention intended to improve patient engagement in perioperative pain management.
