Course overview

While concerns about the opioid epidemic are paramount, many other controlled substances are being misused and abused. Part one of this course describes the best practices and special considerations necessary for prescribing any controlled dangerous substance. Medication reconciliation and the dangers of polypharmacy, especially among the elderly are emphasized. The second part of the presentation focuses specifically on the issues surrounding prescribing for pain, focusing on chronic pain. Risk assessment for addiction, discussion of alternative therapies, medication treatment agreements, tapering and discontinuation, and consistent use of risk and pain assessment tools are included. This course may be applied to part of the 8 hour DEA requirements to meet the MATE Act.
