About
Dr. Kortney Robinson is a leading voice in surgical quality improvement, with a focused commitment to combating the opioid epidemic through evidence-based prescribing practices. Her most cited work, "Reducing postoperative opioid pill prescribing via a quality improvement approach" (2021, 8 citations), exemplifies her core research area: translating clinical evidence into actionable, system-level change. Dr. Robinson’s major contribution lies in identifying and dismantling the institutional barriers that prevent surgeons from adopting reduced opioid protocols. Rather than simply advocating for fewer pills, she provides a pragmatic framework for implementation, demonstrating that meaningful reductions are achievable without compromising patient pain management. Her research directly addresses the root cause of the opioid crisis—overprescription—by offering a replicable quality improvement model. While her citation count reflects the nascent stage of this critical work, its impact is profound, shaping how hospitals rethink postoperative care. Dr. Robinson’s dedication to bridging the gap between research and real-world practice positions her as a transformative figure in patient safety and public health.
