Podcasts about opioid misuse

The CDC's Guideline for Prescribing Opioids for Chronic Pain excludes those undergoing cancer treatment, palliative care, and end-of-life care. In doing so, it seems to give the impression that pain seen in cancer is inherently different than pain seen in other conditions and that those with cancer may not have the same risk for opioid use disorder as compared to other conditions. Today's podcast tackles these issues and more with three amazing guests: Katie Jones, Jessica Merlin, and Devon Check.   We start off the conversation by talking about whether patients with cancer and cancer pain are really that different, and their paper that was just published on January 11th in JAMA Oncology showing that substance use disorder is not uncommon in individuals with cancer. After discussing screening options for substance use disorder, we go on to talk about both the treatments for it and the issues that arise.  In particular, we talk about Katie's and Jesica's paper in NEJM titled “Juggling Two Full-Time Jobs — Methadone Clinic Engagement and Cancer Care,” which described the difficulty in managing cancer pain and methadone for opioid use disorder. Lastly, we discuss Katie's paper on substance use disorder in an aging population and how one can incorporate the 5 Ms (ie, matters most, medications, mind, mobility, and multicomplexity) into a framework for age-friendly care for older adults with substance use disorder. If you want to do a deeper dive, here are some other references we talk about in the podcast: Previous podcasts on substance use disorder Buprenorphine Use in Serious Illness: A Podcast with Katie Fitzgerald Jones, Zachary Sager and Janet Ho  Substance Use in Older Adults: A Podcast with Ben Han  Palliative Care, Chronic Pain, and the Opioid Epidemic: GeriPal Podcast with Jessie Merlin    Expert consensus-based guidance Expert consensus-based guidance on approaches to opioid management in individuals with advanced cancer-related pain and nonmedical stimulant use Consensus-Based Guidance on Opioid Management in Individuals With Advanced Cancer-Related Pain and Opioid Misuse or Use Disorder Expert Panel Consensus on Management of Advanced Cancer-Related Pain in Individuals With Opioid Use Disorder

Prescription opioids are often the first-line therapy to treat chronic and acute pain among farmers. Prescribing opioids to farmer populations that may not seek regular treatment or have access to alternative therapies increases the risk for potential opioid misuse. Properly assessing for these characteristics among other abuse or addiction risk factors, is critical in providing treatment that is both appropriate and effective. The training module will seek to provide insight on misuse risk factors among farmers to better inform healthcare providers on warning signs in this specific cohort. By the end of the webinar, participants will be able to: List potential risk factors for opioid misuse among farmers. Understand proper opioid misuse assessment strategies. Identify effective alternatives for treating chronic and acute pain among farmers

New and expectant mothers face unique challenges when seeking treatment for an opioid use disorder. On top of preparing for motherhood, expectant mothers often face barriers to accessing treatment, which typically involves taking safer opioids to reduce dependency over time. The approach is called medication assisted therapy, or MAT, and is a key component in […]

For approximately 5 million people each year, wisdom-teeth removal is part of the rite of passage into adulthood. But for some, wisdom-teeth extraction represents a first exposure to opioids, and a recent study from Stanford University found that teens can end up in a battle with these medications after the procedure. Dr. Michael Mermigas clinical director of national dental opioid policy for UnitedHealthcare came on the program to discuss why dental procedures like wisdom-teeth extraction have a potential to lead to opioid misuse.

Providing an open channel of communication between pharmacists and patients, medication therapy management (MTM) allows pharmacists to optimize medications for their patients and patients to take an active role in their healthcare. As MTM services help pharmacists better understand how different medications interact with each other, MTM has been recommended as a way to identify and prevent opioid misuse. In an effort to provide greater incentive for Part D sponsors to use MTM programs, the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation launched in January 2017 the 5-year Part D Enhanced Medication Therapy Management (eMTM) Model. The model is assessing whether incentives, such as payment and regulatory flexibilities, will result in enhancements in the MTM program, ultimately leading to improved patient outcomes and reduced costs. In this podcast, we speak with Brian Litten, JD, chief strategic officer, Tabula Rasa HealthCare; and Calvin Knowlton, BScPharm, MDiv, PhD, chief executive officer and founder of Tabula Rasa HealthCare, to get more insight into MTM and the eMTM model.

Every day, more than 115 Americans die after overdosing on opioids. Opioids are a classification of drugs that include prescription pain relievers, heroin, and synthetic drugs like fentanyl. The misuse of these drugs has become an epidemic across the country, and in the state of Maryland, in 2016, 2,089 overdose deaths occurred – with 1,119 of those deaths being related to the opioid drug fentanyl. As a declared public health crisis – what’s being done to combat and address the proliferation of and addiction to opioids?

Preventing prescription drug abuse remains a top health priority for state and federal policy makers, and one that requires a comprehensive approach. In early 2016, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) announced several new opioid abuse prevention and treatment initiatives and as recently as July 22, 2016 President Obama signed into law S.524, the Comprehensive Addiction Recovery Act (CARA), a framework addressing opioid abuse prevention and treatment, including evidence-based interventions. Listen as AJ Ally, Vice President of Clinical Operations at Argus Health helps you understand the new policies and implications for managing the complexities of prescription opioid abuse. The following areas will be reviewed during this discussion: 1.       Drivers for opioid misuse and overuse 2.       Potential impact of retail pharmacies offering free naloxone without a prescription 3.       Proposed approach to managing opioid abuse and misuse through analytics and convergent solutions 4.       Utilization management guidelines (FDA, CDC, CARA) & implications to health plans and manufacturers 5.       Down the horizon - new and innovative treatments and solutions

Guest: Cynthia Kear Guest: Tom McKeithen, Jr. Host: Alicia A. Sutton There is a national public health crisis concerning the misuse and overuse of opioid medications, and despite multiple large scale efforts to stem the tide, negative trends persist. In order to address risk and safety concerns, reduce serious adverse outcomes, and simultaneously ensure that pain patients maintain necessary access to opioids, the U. S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has developed a Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy (REMS) that applies to all long-acting and extended-release opioid medications. Joining Alicia Sutton to discuss how REMS programs are being used to help inform and educate the medical community are Cynthia Kear and Tom McKeithen. Ms. Kear is Senior Vice President of the California Academy of Family Physicians, while Mr. McKeithen is Senior Consultant at Healthcare Performance Consulting
