Digital Quality Improvement Approach Reduces the Need for Rescue Antiemetics in High-Risk Patients: A Comparative Effectiveness Study Using Interrupted Time Series and Propensity Score Matching Analysis

Abstract

We demonstrate an approach to reduce PONV using individualized emails and anesthesia-specific CDS tools integrated directly into a commercial electronic medical record. We found an associated decrease in the PACU administration of rescue antiemetics for our high-risk patient population.
