Description
This session, titled CO*RE/GOMA Pain Management and Opioids: Balancing Risks and Benefits curriculum, is newly updated to reflect the latest information in this vital area of healthcare. The thoroughly revised curriculum addresses: the nature and pathophysiology of pain, assessing patients in pain, creating a pain treatment plan, initiating opioid therapy; managing patients on opioid analgesics; educating patients and caregivers; and understanding opioid use disorder. This program meets many state's requirements for opioid education. It covers the content in the Opioid Analgesic Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy (REMS) education requirement (“Blue Print”), issued by the U.S. Food & Drug Administration in September 2018.
By the end of the presentation, learners should be able to:
1. Describe the pathophysiology of pain as it relates to the concepts of pain management.
2. Accurately assess patients in pain.
3. Develop a safe and effective pain treatment plan.
4. Identify evidence-based non-opioid options for the treatment of pain.
5. Identify the risks and benefits of opioid therapy.
6. Manageongoing opioid therapy.
7. Recognize behaviors that may be associated with opioid use disorder.
