Statement of Need
The
impact of opioids on the United States and its communities is a
constantly growing burden, and all health care providers (HCPs) should
be taking a role in addressing the opioid epidemic. While HCPs can feel
caught between prescribing guidelines and patients' needs, it is
critical that HCPs understand acute and chronic pain pathways and the
underlying mechanisms in order to effectively assess and appropriately
manage pain. This understanding is also key to making an impactful
difference in their communities.
To better understand pain
pathways, Augmented Reality will transport learners into an interactive
illustration of the brain/body reaction to pain and factors that
influence pain perception. Join Dr. Gold and Dr. Stanos in an
interactive discussion of pain management strategies to optimize safe
and responsible management of chronic pain.
Learning Objectives
At the end of this CE activity, participants should be able to:
- Recognize the growing burden of the opioid epidemic and the role of all stakeholders in addressing the opioid epidemic in their community.
- Apply knowledge of acute and chronic pain pathways and underlying mechanisms to clinical assessment and appropriate management of pain.
- Upon evaluation of current clinical workflow for opioid prescribing, incorporate two best practice strategies to optimize safe and competent prescribing and minimize potential for abuse and diversion.
- Integrate in practice, concepts from novel programs in the community to address opioid overdose and treat patients with opioid use disorder (OUD).
The following learning objectives pertain only to those requesting CNE or CPE credit:
- Recognize the growing burden of the opioid epidemic and the role of all stakeholders in addressing the opioid epidemic in their community.
- Explain acute and chronic pain pathways and underlying mechanisms and how they relate to clinical assessment and appropriate management of pain.
Financial Support
Supported by an educational grant from Johnson & Johnson.
Target Audience
Physicians, dentists, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, nurses, and pharmacists who treat patients taking opioids.
