Statement of Need
Primary care physicians (PCPs) have the opportunity to make a difference in the opioid epidemic, as they are responsible for approximately 50% of opioid prescriptions. PCPs are well suited to manage chronic pain as they are adept at managing chronic disease and associated comorbidities, coordinating care, and applying a biopsychosocial approach to multimodal pain management. Incorporating best practice strategies for the evaluation of pain, integration of risk assessment tools, and ongoing patient education and monitoring will optimize safe and responsible prescribing.In this free CME Snack, Dr. Gold Dr. Schmidt focus on the complexity of chronic pain and how best to manage it in the primary care setting and discuss how PCPs and their patients can work together to make informed decisions about their pain management plan.
