Target Audience

Prescribing practitioners including physicians, physician assistants, and nurse practitioners as well as nurses who work with pain patients and patients with OUD. Other interested physicians and healthcare practitioners are welcome to participate. 

  • Controlled Substances
  • DEA/MATE Act Courses

Description

Prescribing healthcare practitioners and patients with opioid use disorder (OUD) often have different perspectives. As a practitioner, you may face challenges in working with these patients. The patients themselves encounter barriers and difficulties associated with getting the treatments they need. By learning about and considering the characteristics and mindsets of patients with OUD, you can better understand your patients and better support them in finding appropriate treatment programs. 

Learning Outcomes/Objectives

Upon completion, participants should be able to:

  1. Describe characteristics and attitudes of patients with OUD.
  2. Describe challenges faced by healthcare practitioners who treat patients with OUD.
  3. Describe challenges encountered by patients who are trying to get treatment for OUD.
  4. Explain strategies that you can take to support a patient with OUD and to alleviate some of the challenges of OUD treatment.

Analyzing decades of medical malpractice claim data has led the MI faculty to narrow our focus to pinpoint the most important roots of patient safety issues across a host of medical specialties. When we boil down our collection of risk management education topics, these key concepts most keenly respond to the roots of patient safety issues: 

Risk Management Concept: Cognition - Icon of human head with cog for brain

Cognition

Error in the mental action or process of learning can lead to adverse events stemming from inaccurate or incomplete thinking, perceiving, experiencing, recognizing, remembering and judging. Courses marked with this designation indicate that information presented within that specific education activity will illuminate actionable ways to improve analysis and synthesis of information, diagnosis and clinical decision making. 


Risk Management Concept: Communication - Icon of speech bubbles

Communication

Misunderstandings can lead to adverse events arising from errors in written, verbal and non-verbal information exchange. Courses marked with this designation indicate that concepts presented within that specific education activity will feature actionable ways to improve mutual understanding between healthcare providers and/or between medical professionals and their patients. 


Risk Management Concept: Performance - Icon of spedometer

Performance

Reactive behavior resulting in inaccuracy, incompletion, expensive and untimely tasks can lead to adverse events arising from poor execution of an action and/or fulfillment of a request. Courses marked with this designation indicate that the specific education activity will present realistic ways to apply learning, implement changes in a medical practice, improve competencies, critically assess performance, and utilize and incorporate evidence-based best practices. 


Risk Management Concept: Professionalism - Icon of people

Professionalism

Breach of competency standards and ethical values can result in adverse events stemming from a misunderstanding of professional expectations. Courses marked with this designation indicate that the education activity will clarify professional expectations in an effort to improve advocacy and participation, provider wellness, ethical decisions, cultural competence, professional organization participation, and adherence to patient care guidelines. 


Risk Management Concept: System - Icon of Cogs

System

System errors in medicine primarily consist of interrelated and interdependent components that habitually influence one another, and can often result in adverse consequences. Courses marked with this designation indicate that the education activity will present ways to address legal and regulatory issues, coordination of care and teamwork, electronic health record IT issues, policies and procedures, cost and risk benefits, and quality improvement activities.
