New digital tools embed opioid stewardship across transitions of care
STORY OF EXCELLENCE
Communication gaps can arise when patients leave hospital and return to the care of their GP. This may lead to patients using opioids for longer than intended. Opioid management plans (OMPs) are a tool to address this. Austin Health integrated OMPs into the workflow of their electronic medical records system. The team deployed user testing to emphasise the tool was here to help, not to hinder, and the data speaks for itself.
The 10th Anniversary Clinical Care Standards Excellence Awards were announced in July 2025.
