Time to Listen: What the Experts Have to Say About Safe Opioid Prescribing and Addiction Treatment

Overview / Abstract:	The data and trends illustrating the impact of opioids on the United States are staggering. From July 2016 through September 2017, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reported a 30% increase in overdoses among men and a 24% increase among women. In December 2018, the Opioid Healthcare Provider/Advocacy Working Group convened for a two-day advisory board meeting with representatives from the primary care, pain management, oral surgery, orthopedic surgery, addiction, and physician assistant healthcare provider community, and the DEA Educational Foundation, to address the opioid epidemic and create actionable steps to promote appropriate and responsible prescribing for individuals with acute and chronic pain to curb the impact of the growing crisis facing our communities. This CME Outfitters activity features insight from this panel of faculty experts on the challenges, consequences, and opportunities for the development of education to help meet the pain management needs of patients amid rising concerns of addiction and diversion.
