A6: Bipartisanship of our political parties and funding is a barrier to implementing laws to end the opioid crisis. Drug companies financing political campaigns should be stopped. As providers we need to come together to improve messaging, power in numbers #NursesStopOpioidAbuse

[LMPD @LMPD]

@DrRankinPeds A6: Be knowledgeable, honest and open. Do NOT sugarcoat risk. Routine opiates, even with no overdose, will lead to heart and other term medical problems. Recommend patients see trained counselors who are able to direct find the necessary specific treatment. #NursesStopOpioidAbuse

Increase education and stop the stigma #nursesstopopioidabuse

[Jessica Rivera @Jessica48455021]

A6: Stigma is a major barrier. Many civilians are uninformed about the good Samaritan act. A shortage of emergency first responders can become overwhelmed. Education to the community could help overcome these barriers

@DrRankinPeds A5: Norton Healthcare has a program for pregnant women needing help with addiction. Norton Maternal Opiate Substance Treatment (MOST) Program. #NursesStopOpioidAbuse

[Kelli Deviney @DevineyKelli]

A6: One of the biggest barriers is the differing political viewpoints on how to handle the opioid crisis and the funding associated with the programs. As providers we must lobby for what’s in the best interest of our patients and be nonjudgmental. #nursesstopopioidabuse

[LMPD @LMPD]

@DrRankinPeds A5(C): Metro counsel has attempted to increase funding and availability of treatment options. LMPD and LMEMS routinely coordinate efforts with Metro Health and area treatment providers. Don't forget about the needle exchange! https://t.co/dFt6L4HpRG

A5: HB 333 limits the initial prescription of level II-controlled substances for acute pain to three days. HB 1 requires providers who prescribe controlled substances to use the KASPER system, decreasing incidence of multiple opioid prescriptions. #nursesstopopioidabuse
