Doctors sent patients home with opioids after emergency department visits about 8% of the time in 2019–2020, down from about 12% in 2017–2018, according to figures released today by the CDC.
It continues a downward trend line from about 21.5% of emergency department discharges in 2010–2011 that resulted in an opioid prescription and a signal that efforts to educate doctors and reduce the use of opioids have gained traction.Rates of opioid prescribing at discharge still vary depending on factors like a patient's source of insurance or their race, according to the data from the National Hospital Ambulatory Medical Care Survey.
About 9% of emergency department visits by Hispanic adults results in an opioid prescription at discharge, compared to 8.3% of non-Hispanic white adults and 7.2% of non-Hispanic Black adults.Axios on facebook
