Incorporate Safety Strategies for Long-Acting Opioids
October 2020
Only 15% of hospitals are fully adherent with ISMP's best practice for long-acting opioids...oxycodone ER, fentanyl patch, etc.

And about half of hospitals aren't defaulting EHR orders for long-acting opioids to the lowest starting dose.
