THIS COURSE HAS BEEN APPROVED BY THE WISCONSIN MEDICAL EXAMINING BOARD AS MEETING THE REQUIREMENTS FOR A CONTINUING EDUCATION COURSE ON THE RESPONSIBLE OPIOID PRESCRIBING GUIDELINES PER MED 13.03(3) OF THE WISCONSIN ADMINISTRATIVE CODE.

This interactive course addresses minimizing opioid use and safe opioids prescribing in clinical practice. Participants have multiple opportunities to engage in learning by viewing presentations, working with the clinical cases and receiving immediate feedback, and studying provided educational resources.

PRACTICE GAPS AND NEEDS

The misuse of opioids is a major public health issue. An estimated 128 people in the United States die every day after overdosing on opioids, and 21 to 29 percent of patients who are prescribed opioids for chronic pain misuse them. Healthcare providers play a key role in facilitating safe and responsible use of opioids, but there is great variation among providers in opioid prescribing practices. This course reviews the latest guidelines, and best practices to help healthcare teams address the challenges of providing patients adequate pain management while also reducing the risks associated with opioid prescribing.
