Description
According to the CDC, drug
overdose deaths and opioid-involved deaths continue to increase in the United
States. Nearly half of all opioid overdose deaths involve a prescription
opioid, putting both patient and prescribing provider at risk. CAP’s next webinar, Good Outcomes in an Era of Tough
Choices: Legal Risks and Solutions for Opioid Prescribers, will cover
the latest laws and legal challenges surrounding the opioid crisis. This presentation will help
answer the fundamental question: How do I treat patients with compassion and
care in a medically sound and legally safe way?
By the
end of this session, attendees will be able to:
- Understand how and why the opioid epidemic poses numerous medical and legal dilemmas and risks for patients and prescribers
- Identify the latest law enforcement activity nationwide and the specific risks it poses to hospitals and providers
- Know the solutions available to meet all of these challenges in a way that fosters good clinical outcomes, prevents or mitigates claims, and permits sound medical and legally compliant practice.
