Managing Patients With Opioid Use Disorder: Interprofessional Case Discussions

Expert Guidance for Effective Management and Appropriate Monitoring of Patients With Pain

In this episode, Michael Weaver, MD, DFASAM, and Sung Cheol Kim, MSN, PMHNP-BC, have an interprofessional discussion of patient cases centered on managing opioid use disorder (OUD). The experts cover both pharmacologic and nonpharmacologic treatment options, including comparisons of the medications available for OUD. Throughout the discussion, listeners also will learn about addressing OUD with a patient in a professional, nonjudgmental manner; exit strategies for opioid analgesic treatment regimens after OUD is identified; and how to continually assess the level of care that a patient with OUD may need throughout treatment.
