Opioid Management: Promising Hospital Practices and Changing the Preoperative Pain Conversation
Returning Participant?
Opioid-related overdoses are an epidemic in the U.S.: According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 91 Americans die from opioid overdoses every day. In 2016, Vizient™ initiated a call to action to help members join together to actively address opioid management. Through our efforts, we have showcased various subject matter and member experts, developed a resource compendium and brought members together to improve care through better opioid stewardship.
This webcast will present innovative opioid management examples from organizations nationwide, as well as suggest ways in which to rework the preoperative pain conversation with patients.
Objectives:
- Describe the difference between pain and nociception and how this difference impacts pain management strategies
- Outline an Integrated Delivery Network’s overall strategy to combat the opioid epidemic
