Overview
Brief Summary
This is a pilot study designed to assess the feasibility of using a novel, video-based opioid education tool for opioid naïve ambulatory surgery patients in the perioperative period.
Detailed Description
Patients will be randomized to a video or no video prior to surgery then administered a phone questionnaire at post-op day 7, 30, and 90. The Arkansas Prescriptions Drug Monitoring Database will also be accessed for information on opioid prescription refills. The overall goal of the study is to evaluate the effect that video-based opioid education has on narcotic intake after outpatient surgery. The duration of the study will be approximately 3 months, plus a single 1-hour long focus group if desired by the patient.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Knowledge of Post Operative Opioids
Time Frame: 7 days
Knowledge of Post operative Opioids after surgery via 7 day post operative phone call. Knowledge is measured on a scale of 1 to 10 with 10 being complete knowledge and 1 being no knowledge.
Number of Patients Who Discontinued Opioids by 3 Months
Time Frame: Up to 3 months
Post-operative pain control as determined by opioid utilization at three months. This is the number of patients that have discontinued opioids at the 3 month mark.
Secondary Outcomes
- Development of Chronic Opioid Use(90-150 days)
- Number of Total Days to Opioid Cessation(Up to 3 months)
