Precision Opioid Prescribing

Written By Phil Jacokes

Overview

Opioid misuse is a serious public health crisis that’s been sweeping across the United States. Currently, 78 Americans die each day due to opioid-related overdoses. The vast majority of individuals who become dependent on prescription opioids receive their first dose following surgical care. Precision Health at the University of Michigan is focusing on understanding the factors that put people at risk of long-term opioid use so that these patients can be prescribed alternative pain management strategies when having surgery.
