Waiver Training for NPs & PAs Part 2: 16 hours SBIRT, Opioids, Pain, and Risk Reduction

Home › Training › Waiver Training for NPs & PAs Part 2: 16 hours SBIRT, Opioids, Pain, and Risk Reduction
As of April 15, 2019, the following activity does not meet the requirement for waiver training and will no longer be offered. The same content is available through individual activities (SBIRT Core Training Activity: Screening, Brief Interventions, and Referral to Treatment / Foundations of Assessing and Treating Pain / Risk Reduction Strategies for ER/LA Opioids / Expanded Skills in Chronic Opioid Therapy), but will not qualify as waiver training and may not be eligible for board-certified continuing education credit.

This activity is designed to change: Competence, Performance. 16 hr(s)

Overview

Goal: This activity aims to:

  1. Train health care providers to apply the clinical skills of screening, brief intervention, and referral to treatment (SBIRT) with patients having substance use problems. Additionally, to train providers in basic motivational interviewing techniques to motivate people having substance use to change behaviors contributing to substance use problems. To adapt these skills according to the substance involved, severity of the substance use problem, and other individual patient needs. (SBIRT Goal – 5 hrs)
  2. Enhance clinical skills of health professionals in treating pain safely and effectively while reducing the risk of addiction/substance abuse/misuse and overdose in patients being treated for pain as well as recognizing and addressing these problems in patients. Specifically:
    • To prepare healthcare professionals who prescribe opioids to fully assess patients before prescribing them, prescribe all opioids carefully and safely, and monitor patients for early detection and prevention of serious adverse events. Further, to become familiar with general and specific drug information on ER/LA opioid analgesics, such as instructions for use, special precautions, adverse effects/side effects, drug interactions, opioid tolerance, the risk of overdose, conversion methods, product safety, dosing, and effect of tolerance.
    • To apply clinical skills with respect to reducing the risk of addiction/misuse of opioids and other prescribed controlled substances, recognizing and addressing drug-related aberrant behavior, urine drug testing and other ongoing monitoring of patients on chronic opioid therapy, coordinating care of these patients with a multidisciplinary team, and assuring adequate pain management in patients with substance use disorders without further contributing to patient substance use problems.
