SUMMA HEALTH AND LEITERS
COLLABORATE TO REDUCE
OPIOID USE
BACKGROUND
For a patient, the statistics paint a grim picture regarding the effects of opioids. Every day, more
than 115 people die from opioid overdoses.1 A one day use of an opioid prescription may pose a
six percent risk of long-term opioid use, and dependency can start within three days of initial
opioid use.2
Opioid addiction invades homes, schools, and communities, leaving devastated lives in its wake.
Summa Health, a nonprofit integrated healthcare delivery system in Northeast Ohio, is more
committed than ever to conquer the opioid crisis. To support this commitment, it has set a goal to
eliminate opiates from its operating rooms completely.3
While Summa Health has already made significant headway on achieving this goal, additional help
combating opioid use came from Thomas Mark, M.D. Chair, Department of Anesthesia, with the
concept of a compounded multi-drug nerve block using three non-opioid drugs: bupivacaine HCI,
dexamethasone sodium phosphate, and epinephrine.4
“Summa Health’s intent for this combination drug product is to reduce opioid use, improve patient
outcomes and satisfaction, minimize complications, and shorten hospital stays,” said Dr. Mark.
Initially, Dr. Mark collaborated with his pharmacy colleagues, John Feucht, Vice President of
Pharmacy Services, and Glenn Huth R.Ph., Director of Pharmacy Operations, to compound this
formulation in-house. However, as demand for the combination product increased, it brought new
challenges for the hospital and pharmacy.
Quality assurance, increased regulatory compliance, capital expenditures, drug shortages, and a
national scarcity of pharmacy technicians make it difficult for hospitals, surgery centers, and clinics
to compound higher volumes of complex combination drugs in-house. Furthermore, the increased
expectations of regulatory agencies, accreditation organizations, and consumer groups lead many
pharmacists to outsource their drug compounding to a high-quality 503B organization.
Summa Health realized that collaboration was essential for success in reaching its goal to eliminate
opiates from its operating rooms. The team at Summa Health understood that
