Perioperative workflow of substance use screening in the perioperative period. From August 2, 2021, to September 10, 2021, the study included substance use screening via the Tobacco, Alcohol, Prescription Medication, and Other Substance Use (TAPS) that was administered electronically 3 weeks prior to preoperative evaluation. Questionnaires were finished prior to or on the day of the preoperative clinic evaluation, which took place within 4 weeks of surgery. Results and guidance on next steps for patients at high risk of substance use and misuse were provided to surgeons in order to plan next steps and optimize the patient prior to, during, and after surgery. From September 29, 2021, to November 12, 2021, an Acceptability of Intervention Measure (AIM), Intervention Appropriateness Measure (IAM) based survey was provided to participating surgical staff regarding the acceptability and utility of the screening tool for feedback.

Survey results of surgical staff regarding acceptability measures of opioid and other risky substance use screening in the perioperative period. Respondents (N = 24) whose patients received opioid and other risky substance use screening and subsequent risk notification as part of their preoperative evaluation responded to the survey. Questions assessed the utility and suitability for the adoption of the screening tool, as well as the acceptability of risk assessment results and the usefulness of the guidance offered as part of the workflow.
