  • What are the main claims of the paper and how important are they?

    to envisaged quality improvement study can be to ascertain how often our outpatient surgical patients are receiving appropriate amounts of opioid prescriptions (for less than or equal to 3days) and whether simple peri-operative awareness program among the outpatient surgical teams' opioid prescribers improves the appropriateness of opioid prescriptions' amounts (for less than or equal to 3days)

    No but not find any other relevant reference presntly.

    yes


  • Do the results support the claims? If not, what other evidence is required?

    yes
