Opioids and the Emergency Department:
Become a Prudent Prescriber

Accredited for 1.0 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™

Thursday, June 8, 2023
Noon – 1 p.m. ET

Fee:

The 2023 Live Opioid CME Series is FREE for members and nonmembers,
thanks to support by a State Opioid Response Grant from:

Indiana Family and Social Services Administration
Division of Mental Health and Addiction

Registration required.

Program description:

Emergency clinicians’ opioid prescriptions are small compared to overall opioid prescribing in the U.S. However, emergency department (ED)-based opioid prescriptions may disproportionately impact the development of long-term use because it is more likely to be the patient’s first opioid prescription. Even short courses of opioid therapy are associated with dependence. Emergency clinicians are charged with providing effective pain relief for opioid-naive patients while managing potential harm. This session will cover best practices in opioid prescribing in the ED.

Objectives:

At the end of this webinar, attendees will be able to:

• Appreciate why prescribing opioids in any amount can cause addiction.
• Gain a clear understanding of best practices in opioid prescribing, particularly in the ED.
• Apply options for non-opioid pain medication prescribing in the acute care setting.

Speaker:

Thomas Gutwein, MD
Director of Emergency Medicine, Parkview Health
Allen County Health Commissioner
