| Managing Pain Amid the Opioid Crisis | 1.25 | |
|
Origination: Reviewed: Expiration: Pain management in the emergency department relies heavily on the use of opioid analgesics, which generates risk for patients to develop long term opioid use or an opioid use disorder. Multimodal analgesia can improve the patient experience and reduce the risks of opioid use if emergency providers approach pain with a more critical mindset.This activity is designed to help emergency providers improve management of pain while decreasing patient exposure to opioids. It is also designed to help providers navigate how to manage patients with opioid use disorder. Identify different types of pain (acute pain, chronic pain, chronic cancer pain, and social pain) and the neurobiological origins of this pain. Describe the risks associated with opioid analgesia. Demonstrate knowledge of multimodal analgesia regimens to manage pain in the emergency department. Describe the characteristics of opioid use disorder and the effectiveness of medication assisted therapy.

| Opioid Prescribing, Chronic Pain, and Opioid Use Disorder | 1.00 | |
|
AMA PRA Category 1 Credit™
Origination: Expiration: 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. Discuss considerations and guidelines for prescribing controlled substances. Describe patient evaluation and education for a safe and effective pain treatment plan. Subject Matter Expert Reviewers
