Statement of Need

The 2016 Guideline for Prescribing Opioids for Chronic Pain, produced by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), effectively changed opioid prescribing with a decrease in the number of high-dose opioid prescriptions. Since then, however, there has been misapplication of the recommendations and increasing disparities or inequitable access to effective pain management, which necessitated the 2022 update to the CDC Opioid Prescribing Guideline. In order to incorporate the strategies suggested in the new Guideline for creating safe and effective pain management treatments for patients, providers need to understand the differences between acute, subacute, and chronic pain pathways and the biopsychosocial factors that impact pain manifestations and affect treatment options.

In this live, CME Outfitters webcast entitled, Finding Balance: Optimizing the Treatment of Patients with Pain, a panel of expert faculty will discuss the 2022 CDC Guideline for Prescribing Opioids for Chronic Pain, changes made since the last Guideline published in 2016, and ways to utilize the new Guideline in the management of pain. Emphasis will be on the need to individualize treatment to the needs of the patient, use of multi-modal pain management strategies, understanding the different pain pathways and biopsychosocial factors individual patients face trying to manage pain.

Learning Objectives

  • Utilize knowledge of acute and chronic pain pathways, underlying mechanisms and biopsychosocial factors to clinical assessment and appropriate management of pain.
  • Incorporate strategies from the 2022 CDC Guideline for Prescribing Opioids into the development of safe and effective pain management plans for patients with acute, subacute, and chronic pain.
