Description

This revolutionary learning module uses self-reflection questioning and the Amplifire cognitive eLearning platform, a neuroscience-driven questioning to help learners evaluate Confidently Held Misinformation (CHM) about opioids. Many physicians are not adequately trained to recognize and manage patients at high-risk for, or suffering from, prescription opioid misuse. In addition, nearly 50% of physicians find it difficult to discuss prescription drug misuse with their patients.1 This may have grave implications as, left untreated, prescription opioid misuse is associated with significant morbidity and mortality from non-fatal and fatal overdose.2-4 Some physicians, unaware of the risk, may prescribe opioids without conducting appropriate monitoring for benefits and risks. Others, fearful of the medico-legal risk that will ensue if patients overdose, develop an addiction, or divert (i.e. sell) their pain medications, refuse to prescribe opioids for any condition, even if required for adequate pain relief.5, 6 Engaging in this activity can increase clinicians’ comfort level in prescribing opioids and in managing any potential issues with abuse, addiction, adverse effects, tolerance, and medication interaction.7

Objectives

  • Assess clinicians’ level of Confidently Held Misinformation (CHM) about opioids
  • Reduce injudicious opiate prescribing behavior with a focus on North Carolina, but accessible to opioid prescribers nationwide
  • Collect data to demonstrate efficacy of the misinformation (CHM) practice modification approach
  • Demonstrate potential of AmpliFire to improve frequency of evidence-based practice for other clinical use cases
  • Recognize improvement of health care outcomes and reduce health care cost resulting from avoidable variation in provider care decisions
