Additionally, pain management continues to provide unique challenges in the context of the opioid epidemic. This program will provide a reassessment of the opioid epidemic, review effective harm reduction and OUD treatment strategies, and discuss evidence for use of non-opioid analgesics in pain management.
Learning Objectives1. Review current national data and legislative changes addressing the opioid epidemic.
2. Examine harm reduction and universal screening practices and evidence for these practices in relation to the opioid epidemic.
3. Formulate an evidence-based comprehensive care plan for an individual presenting with OUD using current guidelines, clinical trial evidence, and medication characteristics.
4. Assess novel and emerging roles of pharmacists in managing pain and opioid use disorder across the continuum of care.
5. Implement recent guideline updates and clinical trial evidence surrounding the use of non-opioid analgesics in pain management in the care of an individual seeking treatment for acute/chronic pain.
