Hospice patient's and all legitimate patients who take opioids need special protections that allow adequate supplies and availability! This is not new, but continues to be an ongoing issue! @VanilaSingh
A recent study from @OregonState showed a downward trend in opioid prescriptions for hospice patients, which could mean inadequate #PainManagement due to misapplication of current CDC guidelines. https://t.co/NU1YGM6jM7
I applaud @WalgreensNews for supporting this effort, but I hope it is more than window dressing. To me this is a non-starter without dedicated time, appropriate skills, and resources! Prove me wrong @WalgreensNews

Indispensable, compassionate, skilled & devoted palliative care nurses play cards-Go Wish cards to explore preferences of patients with serious illness. Many needs & priorities require the talents of such extraordinary nurses! #hpm @DianeEMeier @MarshaBlackburn
Chris we should give them a passing or failing grade based on their PA requirements! My guess most would fail! More unnecessary barriers for #cancer patients on #opioids
People with chronic pain are being harmed by the opioid crackdown. @NBCNightlyNews focuses on the letter sent to the CDC written by @StefanKertesz and signed by over 300 experts expressing concerns of the unintended consequences. @StanfordPain@tvkatesnow https://t.co/TfaaYN55sa
I'm happy that @US_FDA is listening to the needs of patients with chronic pain. FDA publishes "Voice of the Patient: Chronic Pain" report that summarizes the July 9, 2018 public meeting FDA held on Patient Focused Drug Development for Chronic Pain. https://t.co/pAYEPSANjC
