This preconference is designed for hospice and palliative care clinicians who manage pharmacotherapeutic regimens across diverse patient populations with serious illness. Participants will deepen their knowledge of pain physiology, opioid use disorder (OUD), and pharmacologic decision-making across care settings.
The purpose of this session is to equip clinicians with the clinical reasoning and risk mitigation strategies needed to manage pain safely and effectively in patients at risk for or living with OUD. Through evidence-informed didactics, case-based discussions, and interactive problem-solving, learners will gain a deeper understanding of comprehensive pain assessment, individualized care planning, and the evolving role of opioids and alternative therapies in serious illness care.
