  • New Order Panel - Standard Analgesic Pediatric
The Provincial Opioid Optimization Working Group has facilitated the creation of ordering tools that promote evidence-based, lowest effective dose analgesia for managing acute pain. As of October 25, 2024, a new evidence-based "Standard Analgesic Pediatric" order panel is available in Connect Care, following the release of the Standard Analgesic Adult order panel on February 14, 2024 (see the previous blog post).

For moderate to severe acute postsurgical pain, the optimal approach involves a combination of scheduled non-opioid analgesics and as-needed opioids. In the future, pediatric order sets will be updated to integrate the new Standard Analgesic Pediatric panel as appropriate.
