Arm 1 Prescription As Usual
At the time of writing the discharge prescription for a patient the provider will receive a best practice alert (BPA) to consider prescribing the usual medications for pain management after discharge.

Arm 2 Prescription Tool Intervention
At the time of writing the discharge prescription for a patient the provider will be informed by the best practice alert (BPA) Prescription Tool that a patient may be considered for a lower post-discharge opioid dose (no opioids for patients who did not take any opioids in the last 24 hours, and 10 oxycodone 5mg tablets, for patients having taken less than 22.5 MME, e.g. 1-3 oxycodone 5mg tablets in the last 24 hours). Final dosing decisions and drug choices will remain at the discretion of the treating provider and decisions will be tracked.
Arm 2 Prescription Tool Intervention: The best practice alert (BPA) Prescription Tool will only make a suggestion to the provider if the patient may be considered for a lower post-discharge opioid dose. Providers may still choose to prescribe a higher dose as clinically indicated.

SECONDARY outcome
Timeframe: One week after hospital discharge date.Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) Pain Interference Score as reported on the Week 1 study survey. The Scale consists of 8 questions; each question in the Scale has five response options ranging in value from one to five, e.g., Not at all (1), A little bit (2), Somewhat (3), Quite a bit (4), Very much (5). To find the total raw score sum the values of the response to each question. The lowest possible raw score is 8; the highest possible raw score is 40, with a lower score indicating a better outcome/less pain interference. Raw scores are then translated into a T-score for each participant. The T-score rescales the raw score into a standardized score with a mean of 50 and a standard deviation (SD) of 10.
