The Center for Innovation in Academic Detailing on Opioids (CIAO) is continuing its quarterly webinar series on topics related to opioid prescribing, opioid stewardship, managing opioid use disorder, and academic detailing on those topics. The webinar will focus on patients prescribed long-term opioids who are abandoned when a clinic shuts down, or when a clinician relocates or loses their license to practice. The webinar will begin with real case studies about the morbidity, mortality, and challenges faced by patients in this situation, and explore resources available to clinicians who are hesitant to take on either inherited or abandoned patients. A mock detailing session will also illustrate how to talk with clinicians about both the perils of abandoning patients on opioids and some best practices in initiating care for an abandoned patient. The information will be presented using CIAO's Toolkit for Inheriting Patients on Long-term Opioids.

The Center for Innovation in Academic Detailing on Opioids (CIAO) is continuing its quarterly webinar series on topics related to opioid prescribing, opioid stewardship, managing opioid use disorder, and academic detailing on those topics. This webinar will briefly review the basics of academic detailing skills and concepts, including performing the needs assessment, preparing for possible barriers, communicating key messages, and supporting clinician behavior change. They will then use reference cases and mock detailing sessions to bridge the gap between theory and application. CIAO’s academic detailing training is modeled after evidence-based practices from the National Resource Center for Academic Detailing.

Due to recent closures of 29 LAGS pain management clinics in California, up to 20,000 patients receiving pain management will be seeking alternative care. Some of these patients may be on long-term opioid therapy for chronic pain, a serious challenge for nearby providers. If you have received patient transfer requests or are otherwise affected by these closures, please view the following webinar for information and clinical tools about inheriting patients on opioid therapy, ensuring continuity of care, and utilizing buprenorphine. Affected providers can also register for a one-on-one informational session with CIAO’s clinician trainers to discuss these topics at https://www.ciaosf.org/contact-us.
