About
Brian Holliday is a clinical researcher and quality improvement specialist whose work focuses on combating the opioid epidemic through safer postoperative prescribing practices. His most cited study, "Reducing postoperative opioid pill prescribing via a quality improvement approach" (2021, 8 citations), provides a practical framework for institutions to cut unnecessary opioid prescriptions after surgery without compromising pain management. By identifying common barriers to adoption—such as surgeon reluctance, lack of standardized protocols, and patient expectations—Holliday demonstrates how evidence-based guidelines can be translated into real-world clinical change. His research bridges the gap between mounting evidence that postoperative opioids can often be reduced or eliminated and the practical challenges of implementing those changes across diverse healthcare settings. Though his citation count is still growing, Holliday’s work is particularly impactful for hospital administrators, surgeons, and pain management teams seeking actionable strategies to address the opioid crisis at its source. His contributions highlight the critical role of quality improvement methodologies in translating public health research into measurable, life-saving clinical outcomes.
