Overview
How can I best help my patient while navigating the abundance of federal and state laws dictating how I practice? Will I lose my license? Just how far is too far?
No one ever enjoys the answer to difficult patient care scenarios being the cookie-cutter response: it differs patient to patient. Yet, just how does one make recommendations to provide patient care while still adhering to the “corresponding responsibility” of prescribers and dispensers and accounting for reasonable patient variations? Well, as always, an ounce of prevention (education) is worth a pound of treatment (patient care). Join Dr. Mark Garofoli for a dynamic discussion on drug diversion best practices (DEA Red Flags, PDMPs, Urine Drug Monitoring, etc.) along with best practices in patient education and treatment selection.
