Changes in medications consumed 24 h prior to discharge, 2015–2019. Data are presented in monthly intervals on the x-axis. Vertical dashed lines represent the implementation phase. DC = discharge; OME = oral morphine equivalent; ERAS = Enhanced recovery after surgery; NSAID = non-steroidal anti-inflammatory. a Proportion of patients receiving acetaminophen in the 24 h prior to discharge. Post-ERAS associated with a level increase of 77% (p<0.01). b Proportion of patients receiving NSAID in the 24 h prior to discharge. No significant change was noted post-ERAS. c Mean oral morphine equivalents administered 24 h prior to discharge. Post-ERAS level change of 2.7 fewer OME (p=0.06).
