A Targeted Program in an Academic Rheumatology Practice to Improve Compliance with Opioid Prescribing Guidelines for the Treatment of Chronic Pain.
Abstract
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and many state governments have issued guidelines for opioid prescribing for the treatment of chronic non-cancer-associated pain. We sought to decrease practice variation and increase adherence to these guidelines in a tertiary academic Rheumatology practice by developing an interdisciplinary Opioid Working Group and using Electronic Health Record (EHR)-integrated data feedback.
