After the Goldrush: Testing Medical Cannabis and CBD in Chronic Pain Patients
Faculty Douglas L. Gourlay

The emergence of various cannabis products has complicated the management of chronic pain, in part due to the conflicting legal status of this group of drugs at the federal vs many state levels. Recent amendments to federal law in the form of the Hemp Farming Act 2018 by legalizing cannabidiol (CBD) derived from the hemp plant has led to an explosion of CBD containing products in the US market. Unfortunately, not all CBD products available for purchase actually are pure CBD. This session will explore the challenges associated with the application and interpretation of current urine drug testing methods.

Risk for Opioid Overdose:
Identifying At-Risk Patients in Your Practice Hidden in Plain Sight
Supported by an educational grant from Emergent BioSolutions
Faculty Steven P. Stanos

What is the profile of someone at risk for overdose? For many, the perception of overdose risk is tied to someone who is an injection drug user, someone with an opioid use disorder that takes more than they can handle, or someone who unknowingly encounters a drug laced with dangerous levels of fentanyl.1 Few would dispute that these individuals should have ready access to the opioid reversal agent naloxone. While these are accurate profiles of individuals at risk, is the profile too narrow and biased with misconceptions?

The 2016 CDC Guideline for Prescribing Opioids for Chronic Pain recommends co-prescribing naloxone for patients at risk for overdose, including patients with a history of overdose or substance use, patients taking benzodiazepines, and patients taking ≥ 50 MMEs of opioids daily. Yet, in a March 24, 2020 CME Outfitters Risk Evaluation and Mitigations Strategies (REMS) webcast, among 477 internists, primary care providers, nurse practitioners, and PAs, 73% co-prescribed naloxone in patients receiving high dose opioids (≥ 50 MME/day) less than 50% of the time. Thirty seven percent never co-prescribed naloxone in this patient population. The objective of this virtual symposium is to raise awareness about the risk of overdose among patients with chronic pain in everyday practice and actionable changes to practice that are needed to mitigate that risk.

Drugs, Documentation, and DEA:
Improving Your Charting of Prescribing Rationale in 2020 and Beyond
Faculty Jennifer Bolen

Overlooking the importance of carefully documenting the rationale for the use of a controlled medication can land a prescriber in hot water with their licensing board or the DEA. This course will focus on what it takes to move beyond the problems associated with both EMR and handwritten medical charts, and into the documentation of cogent notes signaling proper patient evaluation, including risk evaluation, rationale for the use of controlled medication, and ongoing encounters with the patient.

Target Audience

The educational design of this activity addresses the needs of frontline clinicians: physicians, nurses, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and pharmacists involved in managing acute and chronic pain.

Statement of Need/Program Overview

Whether you're in a hospital or office-based practice, chronic pain patients are everywhere--and YOU are absorbing the burden of their care.

A just released report by the National Institutes of Health outlines positive steps that practitioners can take in response to the burgeoning problem of prescription medication abuse and to provide more effective pain management care to their patients. Key among these is access to pain education, and by participating in a PAINWeekEnd Conference, you'll improve your skills in medication risk evaluation and mitigation, in pain assessment and diagnosis, and in the delivery of individualized multimodal treatment.

The PAINWeekEnd agenda is purposely constructed for the busy clinician, delivering a full day of relevant, practical information, together with the opportunity for interaction and exchange with faculty and fellow attendees.

Pain Management for the Main Street Practitioner has been created to streamline the clutter of information on assessment, evolving guidelines, risk management, and changing reimbursement scenarios. Join us for a day of clinical and practice management CE/CME designed expressly for frontline clinicians. Participants can receive 2.75 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™ as they expand their capabilities in the assessment, diagnosis, and management of chronic pain conditions.

Learning Objectives

  • Discuss drug testing methods in the context of state vs federal law
