Abstract
Opioid use and prescribing have become a subject of increasing focus and scrutiny. The ongoing "opioid epidemic" in North America has further increased interest in this area. In patients presenting for surgery, the prescribing of opioids during and following admission to hospital is commonplace and has been identified as a potential contributor to the growing opioid problem in North America. This review aims to present the timeline of the "opioid epidemic" as well as to introduce the concept of a "Transitional Pain Service". The Transitional Pain Service is a multidisciplinary service originating at Toronto General Hospital that employs a multi-faceted approach to monitoring opioid use after discharge from surgery, and aims to safely wean patients from opioids while maintaining effective pain management. This approach and its results will be discussed in this review.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
