In response to the opioid epidemic, individual states have developed and adopted voluntary guidelines or recommendations for the treatment of acute and chronic non-cancer pain. Based on research done in Virginia where you will practice clinically, include the following:
Provide the name of your practicing state’s organization, group or task force that created guidelines or recommendations for pain management therapies and education.
Briefly describe an overview of its development and include a web address where this information can be found.Â
Some states have multiple organizations or initiatives  in place to combat the opioid epidemic and advocate for safer opioid prescribing. Explore whether Virginia has other resources, groups or organizations where prescribers can reference best practices for pain management treatment. If applicable, provide a brief overview of the group’s recommendations or initiatives. If Virginia does not have another state-specific resource, discuss the guidelines published by the American Pain Society OR Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Discuss when the use of opioids is appropriate and for what duration should they be prescribed? Provide a reference for your response.Â
