Opioid Prescribing, Chronic Pain, and Opioid Use Disorder

Opioid Prescribing, Chronic Pain, and Opioid Use Disorder

The emphasis on pain management to improve quality of life and function has contributed to a significant increase in opioid prescriptions. As such, there has been a concurrent increase in risk of misuse and abuse. While opioids are highly effective for pain relief, closer attention to the risk versus benefit analysis has led to guidelines that prefer nonpharmacologic and nonopioid pharmacologic therapy over opioids, especially for chronic pain. Clinicians must carefully monitor the patient and be alert for signs that risks outweigh benefits of opioids. This course will address issues related to opioid prescribing, chronic pain, and opioid use disorder.

The goal of this course is to educate acute care providers about regulations, medical management, and misuse of controlled substances.
