This module is designed for members of the MCW community - MCW Faculty, MCP, CSG, CMG, CP and Zablocki VA physicians, nurse practitioners and physician assistants with a current DEA certificate and who prescribe opioids for pain management.
Learning Objectives
Learners who engage in the educational content will be able to:
- Describe starting doses for two oral and two parenteral opioids in palliative care.
- List three opioid equi-analgesic and dose escalation principles
- Describe three principles of writing opioid prescription orders in the inpatient and outpatient settings.
Patients with serious illnesses such as advanced cancer, chronic organ failure, or dementia are at risk for poorly controlled pain and dyspnea. Often these patients require opioid therapy in order to manage these symptoms, especially as their underlying advanced illness progresses. In order to prescribe opioids in a safe and effective manner for these patients, clinicians need to have comprehensive clinical knowledge regarding various types of opioids, routes of opioid therapy, dosing of opioid therapy, and how to modify opioid therapy as their symptoms evolve with the underlying illness.
