Course Description
The opioid crisis continues to grow and incidents of misuse, mistreatment, addiction and overdose deaths are increasing. Medical professionals play a key role in facilitating the proper use of opioids by assessing risk and by addressing the harm of opioid use. Yet many patients have medical conditions that could significantly benefit from safe opioid use.
A growing body of research indicates that there are safeguards and protocols that physicians can use when prescribing opioids for their patients that can help minimize adverse effects. This program details safe and effective guidelines for opioid prescribing and standards of care in management of high-risk patients. Learners will understand unhealthy substance use patterns and distinguish between substance misuse and substance use disorder, current developments in the opioid crisis, and effective communication with patients regarding the prescription of an opioid.
Learning objectives
At the conclusion of this activity, learners will be able to:
- Document current methods of risk screening for patients on opioid medications
- Determine calculations for daily morphine equivalents for various opioid medications
- Recognize current methods of risk maintenance, including urine drug screening, naloxone, and the prescription monitoring program
- Identify high risk patients, and formulate a comprehensive strategy for those patients
