About
Amy E. Glasgow is a health services researcher whose work is at the forefront of combating the opioid crisis through evidence-based surgical prescribing. Her research focuses on opioid stewardship, particularly in gynecologic surgery, where she evaluates the real-world impact of standardized prescribing recommendations and state-level legislation. Glasgow’s major contributions include demonstrating that implementing specific postoperative opioid guidelines for pelvic organ prolapse surgery can significantly reduce prescribing without increasing refill rates—a critical finding for balancing pain management with addiction risk. Her 2023 study on this topic (4 citations) provides longitudinal evidence that such protocols are sustainable. Additionally, her 2021 analysis of Arizona and Florida legislation (4 citations) revealed that state laws can effectively lower oral morphine equivalents prescribed after hysterectomy and hysteroscopy, though refill patterns require ongoing monitoring. While her citation counts are modest, reflecting the recent nature of her work, Glasgow’s research directly informs clinical practice and public policy, making her a key voice in the movement toward safer, more responsible opioid use in surgery.
