Blueprint in Practice: Elevating Pain Management and Opioid Safety Across the Care Team

Effective pain management is more complex than ever. As opioid prescribing guidance continues to evolve, clinicians must stay current with the latest evidence to deliver safe and patient-centered care. The FDA Opioid Analgesic REMS Education Blueprint and the 2022 CDC Clinical Practice Guideline for Prescribing Opioids for Pain provide essential recommendations for responsible opioid prescribing, acute and chronic pain management, opioid safety, and the recognition and treatment of opioid use disorder (OUD). These resources also address persistent gaps in clinical practice and clarify misapplication of earlier recommendations that contributed to unintended patient harm. Despite these advances, however, many clinicians and multidisciplinary care teams continue to face challenges translating guidance into everyday practice, particularly in emergency settings and opioid counseling. This recorded Engage the Experts webcast from CME Outfitters will bring these principles to life through practical, real-world clinical decision-making. Through expert discussion, brief patient cases, patient perspectives, decision point polling, and live Q&A, learners will apply biopsychosocial assessment, validated pain tools, multimodal treatment, opioid risk assessment, safe prescribing and counseling, DSM-5 criteria for OUD, and evidence based, non-stigmatizing communication. Patient experience checkpoints will reinforce shared decision-making and what patients need to understand at key clinical decisions.
