Course overview
This course reviews New York's mandatory prescriber education topics, focusing on safe and compliant controlled-substance prescribing, evidence-based acute pain management, palliative care principles, and identification and response to substance use disorder. Learners will connect legal requirements such as I-STOP/PMP use and prescribing limits to practical clinical decision-making, including multimodal analgesia strategies and risk-screening workflows. The goal is to support safer prescribing practices that reduce preventable harm while maintaining appropriate symptom control across acute, chronic, and end-of-life contexts. Prescribers face ongoing risk from rapidly changing legal requirements, variable workflow implementation, and inconsistent uptake of evidence-based pain and addiction practices. This activity addresses those gaps by translating key mandates and clinical principles into usable processes for daily practice. Terminology Note: New York's Prescription Monitoring Program (PMP) registry functions as the state's prescription drug monitoring program (PDMP). In this course, "PMP" refers to New York's PDMP registry accessed under I-STOP requirements (New York Senate, n.d.; New York State Department of Health, n.d.-b). This course satisfies the three-hour continuing education requirement for New York prescribers in pain management, palliative care, and addiction, which must be completed once every three years.
