A retrospective study was conducted in order to determine the efficacy of occupational therapy (OT) as a member of the ERAS team, specifically in treating patients in the acute care setting following breast reconstruction surgery. It was found that OT treatment was significantly associated with decreased prescription of opioid pain pills when controlling for age, BMI, and surgery type. This educational session will outline the methods utilized in this study and explicate the importance of including OT within the ERAS team.
