11 FEATURED CERTIFICATION TRACK SAFE OPIOID PRESCRIBING: STRATEGIES. ASSESSMENT. FUNDAMENTALS. EDUCATION. In 2012, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) determined that a Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy (REMS) is necessary for safe prescribing of ER/LA opioid analgesics. This strategy was developed by the FDA in collaboration with a variety of stakeholder groups to ensure that the benefits of ER/LA opioid analgesics continue to outweigh the risks of adverse outcomes that often result from inappropriate prescribing, abuse, and misuse. Attend this track and receive your REMS-compliant training certificate. FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 12 1:45-2:30pm Evaluation Is Essential for Safe and Effective Pain Management Using ER/LA Opioids Practicing clinicians face the challenge of evaluating patients for aberrant drug behavior when prescribing opioid therapy for pain management.

Schedule subject to change. This educational activity is supported by an independent educational grant from the ER/LA Opioid Analgesic REMS Program Companies (RPC).
