Prescription abuse of controlled medication is problematic for health care providers in New York State. While there are chronic pain sufferers who are able to function well on regular pain medication, there are others who abuse and/or divert these medications for illicit reasons. Health care providers must understand the guidelines and the consequences associated with prescription abuse of pain medications.
At this Webinar, Dr. John E. Stamatos and Paul E. Walker, Esq. will discuss the following subject matters:
• Role of OPMC (and OPD) in Overseeing Prescription Abuse of Pain Medications;
• OPMC Issues Regarding Prescriptions of Pain Medication to Patients;
• OPMC Interventions When the Physician Is the Substance Abuser;
• Tools Available for the Care of Patients in Chronic Pain;
• Use of Narcotics in the Chronic Care of Patients;
• Medical Treatment Options for Patients Who Are Chronic Narcotic Users; and
• I-STOP and Other Regulations Pertaining to Prescriptions for Controlled Substances.
