Summary
This study is designed to test the hypothesis that increased electronic order-set compliance
and focused education will decrease the amount of unconsumed opioid entering and remaining in
the home after pediatric supracondylar fracture repair
The proposed study will address the hypothesis with the following objectives:
1. investigators will increase compliance with previously implemented standardized
precision-based electronic discharge order sets;
2. investigators will introduce part-fill opioid prescriptions for supracondylar fracture
repairs;
3. investigators will increase parental compliance with home administration of simple
(non-opioid) analgesics;
4. investigators will decrease opioid amount remaining in the home pre and post 3-week
follow up.
