1 Substance Abuse & Diversion in Palliative Care Screening Survey Tools Select the right tool(s) for your purposes and practice Patient self-administers vs Clinician interview Length vs Thoroughness Substances assessed Initial Assessment vs Ongoing monitoring Validation for your general patient population and that individual patient Purpose of the tool s findings understand the interpretation Ease of scoring No conclusions should ever be made from a single screening tool Low-risk patients can still become addicted and high-risk patients may never become addicted Opioid Risk Tool (ORT) [ Short, only 5 questions Easily scored and adaptable to electronic health records Self-administered and can easily be incorporated into paperwork for new patients Validated in male and female pain patients, although not validated in non-pain patients Excellent in differentiating high- vs low-risk for future abusive drug-related behavior (c > 0.8) May be susceptible to intentional deception Revised Screener & Opioid Assessment for Patients with Pain (SOAPP-R) [ Moderately long (24 questions) Easily scored Self administered Validated and cross-validated in chronic noncancer pain patients Screens for high-risk for future aberrant drug-taking behaviors (91% sensitivity) Less susceptible to overt deception compared with original SOAPP Diagnosis, Intractability, Risk, and Efficacy Score (DIRE) [ also available as free iphone app] Short (7 total questions) Physician interview Well-suited for documentation in electronic medical records Good inter-rater reliability Predicts compliance with 94% sensitivity and 87% specificity with long-term opioid treatment Pain Medication Questionnaire (PMQ) Long (26 questions) but thorough Self administered Good for ongoing monitoring Apparently only available for purchase from wiley Prescription Opioid Misuse Index (POMI) [ Short (8 or 6 question versions) Physician interview Good for ongoing monitoring and easily documented in electronic medical records Validated in chronic pain patients with good sensitivity and specificity, although small study Attempts to incorporate behaviors driven by addiction rather than uncontrolled pain 2013 AAHPM & HPNA Assembly
2 2 of 8 Restricted Medication Agreements Introduces the concept of multimodality and/or multidisciplinary approach to pain management Reinforces the team approach to pain, stressing the inclusion of the patient as part of that team Provides an opportunity for patient education about safety, interactions among medications and substances, potential negative effects, and governmental regulations Lays out what you expect of the patient and what the patient can expect of you Sample: Getting the Best Results from Opioids and Other Symptom Management Medications: A Partnership Agreement The prescribing and dispensing of controlled substances (e.g. opioids, sedatives, stimulants, etc) is closely monitored by government agencies both at the state and federal levels. To protect both you and your provider, a controlled substance agreement must be signed by patients receiving controlled substances from our healthcare team. Healthcare Provider: Amy L. Davis, DO, MS, FACP, FAAHPM Contact #: (610) Patient: Your Provider s Goal: To adequately treat your pain and other symptoms so that your quality of life is maximized. Your Healthcare Provider s Responsibilities: 1. To explore all aspects of your history and your experience of pain and other symptoms. 2. To accept your reports of pain and other symptoms and your responses to treatment. 3. To evaluate the causes of your symptoms and review all treatment options with you. 4. To explain the risks, benefits, and potential side effects of these treatment options to you and be available to answer any of your questions so that you are informed about your treatment options. 5. To respect your right to participate in symptom management decisions, including your freedom to accept or reject treatment options based on your beliefs, experiences, and understanding of these treatment options. 6. To facilitate your access to medical care, even when the provider is not personally available. 7. To refill your medications as agreed upon in this agreement. 8. To advocate on your behalf concerning the appropriate use of medications for symptom management. Your (Patient's) Goal: To improve my ability to function and/or work and to be able to spend time with family and friends with reduced pain and other symptoms. Your (Patient's) Responsibilities: 1. I am responsible for my controlled medications. If the medications are lost, misplaced, or stolen, or if I use them up sooner than prescribed, I understand that they will not be replaced. 2. I will take my medication in the manner and doses as prescribed by my provider. I will make no changes to the dose or timing of the medication without first discussing it with my provider listed above. 3. I will not request or accept controlled medications from any other provider without first discussing it with my above listed provider, as this may cause overdosing and be harmful to me. 4. I will not share or allow anyone else to use my medications. I will keep all medications away from children.
3 3 of 8 5. I will plan for when I need more medication and will request my medication refills during regular clinic visits. Refills will not be made at night, on holidays, or on weekends. This is because a provider who is on call at these times may not know me and therefore cannot safely refill my medications. 6. I understand that the use of alcohol and illegal/illicit drugs in combination with my prescribed medication may harm me and could be lethal. I agree to not use any illegal/illicit drugs or any medications not prescribed to me. 7. I agree to participate in random drug screening. I understand that a drug screen is a test that checks to see what medications or other substances I am taking. 8. I understand that controlled medications can cause drowsiness. I will not drive a motor vehicle or operate equipment or machinery that is dangerous while I am sleepy or drowsy. 9. I understand that I need to obtain my controlled medications from one pharmacy. I will inform my provider in advance if I change to a different pharmacy. My Pharmacy: Pharmacy Phone #: 10. I authorize my provider to provide a copy of this contract to my pharmacy. 11. For the purpose of optimizing my medical care, I authorize my provider to discuss all diagnoses and treatment details with pharmacists, physicians, or other health care providers when necessary. 12. I will participate in medical, psychological, or psychiatric assessments recommended by my provider. 13. I understand that if I do not comply with this agreement, my controlled medications may not be refilled due to the associated medical and safety risks, and my treatment may be discontinued. 14. I understand that if the violation of this agreement involves obtaining controlled medications from another individual, misusing or selling controlled substances, or using illegal drugs, I will no longer be able to obtain treatment from this healthcare team. This may be reported to other healthcare providers, medical facilities, and other agencies as appropriate. This agreement has been explained to me by my healthcare provider, and my questions concerning this agreement have been answered. I understand the consequences of violating this agreement. Signature of Patient: Name of Patient: Provider Signature: Date: Date: I have not executed this contract with my patient,, because he/she has not given any indication of the ability to comprehend the contents or intent of this document. I have not presented this contract to my patient,, because, in my clinical judgment, he/she would suffer immediate and severe injury from a discussion of this document. Signature of Provider Date
