Honored to have joined #WSUS for their Annual Meeting to discuss the #OpioidEpidemic and how we can address it together. Looking forward to more collaboration with this fantastic group! @Dr_UnaLee @VirginiaMason https://t.co/wnoXz0B9Er
@Dr_UnaLee @VirginiaMason Thank you for the invitation and the amazing hospitality. It was great to share your amazing work on “right sizing” postop prescribing!
@ASRA_Society@kevinmd thanks for highlighting our work showing 6% rate of new persistent #opioid use after surgery. Most common postop complication https://t.co/nmExBy7Wnn https://t.co/oEm0ntuAEk @JAMASurgery@JAMA_current@UM_IHPI https://t.co/PyYcJItX3S
Game Changer from @MayoClinic-a Novel Institutional Guideline Strategy (and simple surgical scale) Cut Postoperative Opioid Prescribing in-half in opioid-naive patients after TKA and THA. No change in refills at 30 days. @drchadb@EMARIANOMD@DanWarrenMD

@JacksonHeatherJ @VUMC_OAP Great point- we must increase access to #MAT and lowering the barriers to buprenorphine waiver for advanced practice providers would be a rational step.
Wonderful idea! Equipping advance practice providers with buprenorphine prescribing privileges could further provide access to life saving opioid dependence treatment! Perhaps a thought for @VUMC_OAP homeless care program? Interesting program @DanWarrenMD https://t.co/OIPOGchMaY
