PBI Prescribing: Opioids, Pain Management, and Addiction (RX-21) is organized by Professional Boundaries Education and will be held from Dec 07 - 08, 2019 at UCI Student Center & Event Services, Irvine, California, United States of America.

Course Credit: 21 CME/CE hours

Summary:
More than just a course in sound prescribing practices, this course reaches beyond. We examine the personal and professional reasons why clinicians fail to prescribe properly. Both broad and deep, the curriculum covers common misconceptions about opioids, assessment of patients for misuse potential, setting prescribing-related boundaries, team-based pain management approaches, and compliance with documentation, laws, and rules.

In addition, and building on insights into why clinicians prescribe inappropriately, participants develop a Personalized Protection Plan. This plan is designed to help them maintain their newfound knowledge base and prevent prescribing-related lapses.
