This qualitative study assesses surgeons’ perspectives regarding a change in the default number of doses for opioid prescriptions written through an electronic health record system to adolescents and young adults undergoing tonsillectomy. Did surgeons notice a change in the default dosing settings for discharge opioid prescriptions to adolescents and young adults undergoing tonsillectomy written through an electronic health record system, and what were their perspectives regarding this intervention? In this qualitative study that analyzed semistructured interviews of 16 otolaryngology attending and resident physicians, no participant reported noticing the new default dosing settings for discharge opioid prescriptions. In general, participants reported that changing default settings was a powerful and feasible way to decrease postoperative opioid prescribing in other surgical populations and institutions. These findings can inform future efforts to change the default dosing settings for opioid prescriptions written after surgery. An intervention in 2021 at a tertiary medical center found that the implementation of evidence-based default dosing settings for opioid prescriptions written in electronic health record systems was associated with reduced opioid prescribing to adolescents and young adults aged 12 to 25 years undergoing tonsillectomy. It is unclear whether surgeons were aware of this intervention, whether they thought the intervention was acceptable, or whether they believed similar interventions were feasible to implement in other surgical populations and institutions. To assess surgeons’ experiences and perspectives regarding an intervention that changed the default number of doses for opioid prescriptions to an evidence-based level. This qualitative study was conducted at a tertiary medical center during October 2021, 1 year after implementation of the intervention, in which the default number of doses for opioid prescriptions written through an electronic health record system to adolescents and young adults undergoing tonsillectomy was lowered to an evidence-based level. Semistructured interviews were conducted with otolaryngology attending and resident physicians who had cared for the adolescents and young adults undergoing tonsillectomy after implementation of the intervention. Factors that play a role in opioid prescribing decisions after surgery and participants’ awareness of and views on the intervention were assessed. The interviews were coded inductively and a thematic analysis was performed. Analyses were conducted from March to December 2022. Change in the default dosing settings for opioid prescriptions written in an electronic health record system to adolescents and young adults undergoing tonsillectomy. Surgeons’ experiences and perspectives regarding the intervention. The 16 otolaryngologists interviewed included 11 residents (68.8%), 5 attending physicians (31.2%), and 8 women (50.0%). No participant reported noticing the change in the default settings, including those who wrote opioid prescriptions with the new default number of opioid doses. From the interviews, 4 themes regarding surgeons' perceptions and experiences of the intervention emerged: (1) opioid prescribing decisions are influenced by patient, procedure, physician, and health system factors; (2) defaults may substantially influence prescribing behavior; (3) support for the default dosing setting intervention depended on whether it was evidence-based and had unintended consequences; and (4) changing the default dosing settings is potentially feasible in other surgical populations and institutions. These findings suggest that interventions to change the default dosing settings for opioid prescriptions may be feasible to implement in a variety of surgical populations, particularly if the new settings are evidence-based and if unintended consequences are carefully monitored.
