recorded webinar available February 5, 2021 to February 5, 2024
Presenter(s): Alexander Walley, MD, Boston Medical College
Target Audience: Physicians, nurse practitioners or other advanced practice nurses, PAs, psychologists, pharmacists, social workers and healthcare teams.
Webinar Description: The overdose crisis continues despite expanded and enhanced efforts to implement evidence-based practices, including overdose education and naloxone rescue kits, medication for opioid use disorder, and prescription opioid safety. While these evidence-based practices are more accessible, they are not reaching those at highest risk for overdose. Opportunities lie in engaging high-risk individuals, addressing the low barrier-retention paradox, and addressing the increasingly toxic drug supply. This webinar will equip learners with the knowledge to intervene during acute opiate toxicity episodes and help them develop practice improvement plans to reduce impediments to access of overdose prevention resources.
Educational Objectives:
- Describe at least three (3) approaches to reduce opioid overdose deaths.
- Identify at least three (3) limitations of these approaches to high-risk populations.
- List opportunities to engage high-risk individuals, address the low barrier-retention paradox and make the drug supply less toxic.
Credit Designations Available: AMA PRA Category 1 Credit™, Nursing Contact Hours, AAPA Category 1 CME credit, CEUs for psychology, Pharmacy Continuing Education Credit, and SW CE credit.
