The misuse of extended-release and long-acting (ER/LA) opioids is a major public health problem. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported the following:
- From 2000 to 2015 more than half a million people died from drug overdoses.
- 91 Americans die every day from an opioid overdose.
The CO*RE/ASAM Opioid Prescribing: Safe Practice, Changing Lives course addresses the opioid public health crisis. This comprehensive course was developed by renowned experts from Collaborative for REMS Education (CO*RE) and incorporates all six units outlined in FDA blueprint for safe opioid prescribing. The updated course also provides necessary context for safe opioid prescribing by discussing biopsychosocial aspects of pain, the newest clinical guidelines on the treatment of chronic pain, and state policies about prescribing opioids.
Learners will be able to:
- Accurately assess patients with pain for consideration of an opioid trial
- Establish realistic goals for pain management and restoration of function
- Initiate opioid treatment (IR and ER/LA) safely and judiciously, maximizing efficacy while minimizing risks
- Monitor and re-evaluate treatment continuously; discontinue safely when appropriate
- Counsel patients and caregivers about use, misuse, abuse, diversion, and overdose
- Educate patients about safe storage and disposal of opioids
- Demonstrate working knowledge and ability to access general and specific information about opioids, especially those used in your practice.
