A major strategy for achieving this goal has been to implement alternative payment models (APMs) that encourage high-value care by holding providers financially accountable for both the quality and the costs of care. In particular, the CMS has implemented and scaled up two types of APMs: population-based models that emphasize accountability for overall quality and…

• Prescription Default Nudges for Opioid Reduction after Major Surgery (NORMS)

  Annals of Surgery · 2025-11-07

  articleSenior author

  OBJECTIVE: We aimed to evaluate the impact of an electronic health record (EHR)-based default "nudge" intervention on opioid prescribing after common surgical operations. BACKGROUND: Given ongoing national challenges in opioid use and opioid-related adverse events, there is a need to optimize opioid prescribing after surgery. Behavioral nudges built into the EHR may be effective and useful, but they have not been widely tested among surgeons. METHODS: This is a randomized clinical trial at a lar…
