Post-operative opioid analgesic prescribing patterns in gynecologic oncology patients following the implementation of a statewide -prescription monitoring and reporting system.

This study confirms a decrease in opioid tablets prescribed to post-operative gynecologic oncology patients since July 2016. This difference cannot be attributed to the implementation of the CPMRS alone, but chronologically relates to updated requirements. Additionally, our results re-emphasize that minimally invasive surgery has a reduced number of prescribed opioids. A multi-institutional study is required with more patients to detail the factors involved in further decreasing opioid prescribing.
