 "Enough opioids were sold in 2010 to give every American adult a 5 mg Vicodin tablet every four hours for a month." Says Ileana Arias, PhD, Deputy Director of the CDC. (1)
prescription drugs

It is no secret that pain-management prescribing practices are a major concern - but what can be done? Does the prescribing physician in question demonstrate a pattern of dyscompetency in this area? Will a one-day CME course sufficiently address this problem? Or do you need a more comprehensive evaluation and educational plan solution?

  

Today, opioids are the most-prescribed class of prescription medications in the United States, with hydrocodone as the single most prescribed drug in the US. (2)

Image Pain MngmntCPEP takes an in-depth look at a participant's individual prescribing history and practices by incorporating the Pain Management Assessment into the overall Competence Assessment process. As with every CPEP Competence Assessment, the Pain Management evaluation is specialized to the individual. Is Pain Management the physician's primary specialty or a part of a broader scope of practice? Additionally, CPEP Assessment will address both what the participant knows and what the participants does.
