Statement of Need
The opioid epidemic underscores the importance of healthcare providers integrating a multimodal approach to safe and effective pain management. Doing so requires not only comprehensive assessment of patients, but the consideration of non-opioid medications, selected based on the severity of pain and injury. The Orthopedic Trauma Association recently released their Clinical Practice Guidelines including recommendations for pain medication strategies, cognitive strategies, physical modalities, and system tools, all of which are imperative when addressing pain management.
In part 2 of this 3-part series, expert faculty focus on the four-step approach that follows the SOAP (Subjective-Objective-Assessment-Plan) approach to pain management, as well as principles of communication with patients experiencing pain in order to help clinicians appropriately prescribe the best therapy for pain management in each patient.
Learning Objectives
At the end of this CE activity, participants should be able to:
- Upon evaluation of your current clinical workflow for opioid prescribing, incorporate two best practice strategies to optimize safe and competent prescribing and minimize potential for abuse and diversion.
- Educate patients about their pain to optimize safe and effective, multimodal treatment plans.
The following learning objectives pertain only to those requesting CNE or CPE credit:
- Describe two best practice strategies to optimize safe and competent prescribing and minimize potential for abuse and diversion.
- Educate patients about their pain to optimize safe and effective, multimodal treatment plans.
