  TARGET AUDIENCE
The primary target audience consists of physicians, physician assistants, and nurse practitioners who currently prescribe ER/LA opioids in managed care organizations, integrated delivery systems, and Accountable Care Organizations/Patient-Centered Medical Home (ACO/PCMH) care settings. The secondary audience includes physicians, physician assistants, and nurse practitioners who have not prescribed opioids in the past 12 months but who may in the future or who are responsible for policy/procedure development in these settings, as well as the vast number of ancillary health care professionals associated with appropriate selection and monitoring of opioid therapy including registered nurses, pharmacists, medical assistants, and pharmacy technicians.

  STATEMENT OF EDUCATIONAL NEED
The core of new accountable care ecosystem is patient-centered primary care, a model where the relationship between the provider and the patient ensures that appropriate care is structured, delivered, and coordinated around the specific needs of the patient. New care models hold tremendous promise for implementing the REMS FDA Blueprint education as a result of incentivized coordination and collaboration among various care givers. Emerging care models can improve patient care transitions that result from system failures in the transition from various health care settings and providers.

Clinicians will receive information that will allow them to improve their ability to: provide safer treatment to extended-release/long-acting (ER/LA) opioid patient populations, track and coordinate referrals, provide appropriate access and communication, plan and manage care, and measure performance improvement.

  GOALS OF PROGRAM

Educate participants on the FDA's REMS Blueprint Core Content while also addressing clinicians' educational needs in evaluating new care models, identifying best practices, and implementing solutions for advancing community-based collaboration in order to improve outcomes for patients on ER/LA opioid therapy.

  LEARNING OBJECTIVES

Track 1: (Includes FDA Blueprint elements I and II)
  • Describe current guidelines for treatment with ER/LA opioids and opportunities to integrate such guidelines into new models of care delivery
  • List quality indicators impacted by non-adherence to national guidelines regarding treatment with ER/LA opioids
Track 2: (Includes FDA Blueprint elements IV, V, and VI)
  • Discuss the importance of shared decision-making and patient education for patients who need or are receiving ER/LA opioids
  • Employ 2 patterns of communication that can improve patient/provider communication around ER/LA opioid therapy
Track 3: (Includes FDA Blueprint elements I, II, and III)
  • Use the EHR to improve the management of patients taking ER/LA opioids and reduce the opportunity for diversion and abuse
  • Describe the benefits of using a state PDMP in improving management of patients receiving ER/LA opioids and reducing the risk of addiction, misuse, and diversion
  • Integrate the state PDMP into the practice's EHR to reduce misuse and diversion
