Data Collection & Analysis

The Pennsylvania NSQIP consortium (PANC) collect and enter opioid-related data into NSQIP registry on select clinical measures. Variables captured include data on pre-operative use of opioids and benzodiazepines; types and levels of anesthesia and intraoperative opioids; pain management approaches; and post-operative opioid prescribing and use. Teams then use the data to drive improvement in their organizations. The data is discussed at PANC meetings.
