Mission Health collected 270 pounds of medications during its 3rd annual "Crush the Crisis" national prescription drug take back day on Saturday, October 29, 2022. This event aligns with the Drug Enforcement Administration's (DEA) National Prescription Drug Take Back Day, to raise awareness about the danger of drug misuse and the importance of safe and proper disposal of unused or expired medications. Community members participated in the event by dropping off unused and expired medications which were collected by law enforcement offi cers from the various law enforcement departments in our participating communities. These are the totals from across Mission Health: • Angel Medical Center: 15.5 pounds • Blue Ridge Regional Hospital: 14 pounds • Highlands-Cashiers Hospital: 10 pounds • Mission Hospital: 142 pounds • Mission Hospital McDowell: 58 pounds • Transylvania Regional Hospital: 30.5 pounds The 270-pound total eclipsed last year by 91 pounds! As an affi liate of HCA Healthcare, Mission Health is part of a health system that also uses science of "big data" to reduce opioid misuse and transform pain management, with initiatives in surgical, emergency and other care settings including: • Enhanced Surgical Recovery (ESR): a multi-modal approach to pain management using pre, intra and post- operative interventions to optimize outcomes. HCA Healthcare's ESR programs have demonstrated signifi cant improvements in surgical recovery and patient satisfaction, including decreases in opioid usage. • Electronic Prescribing of Controlled Substances (EPCS): aims to stem increasing rates of opioid- related addiction, misuse diversion and death by making it more diffi cult for medication- seekers to doctor-shop and alter prescriptions. Physicians have access to aggregated electronic health records, providing data that will allow them to prescribe opioids judiciously. This year, all 15 HCA Healthcare U.S. divisions participated in a "Crush the Crisis" drug take back day at 110 collection sites across 17 states.
