Prescribing Opioid Analgesics: General Precautions
Charles E. Argoff, MD, FABPM | Katherine E. Galluzzi, DO, CMD, FACOFP
Prescribing opioids are not without risks. However, opioids continue to be prescribed for acute and chronic pain given that they have been shown to be an effective treatment for certain individuals. Consistent with all prescribed medications, it is important for the prescriber to be aware of common side effects and their management, as well as potential serious side effects and their management. These recommendations are designed to minimize harm to the patient, their loved ones/caregivers, as well as to inform the prescriber about best practices. This session will provide clinicians with an overview of general precautions necessary when prescribing opioids.

Addressing Low Detection of Chronic Kidney Disease in At-Risk Patients
Jennifer Ennis, MD, FACP
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) screening and early detection helps improve patient outcomes; however only 4 out of 5 at-risk adult patients in the U.S. are being fully tested per recommended guidelines. Join Labcorp and the National Kidney Foundation (NKF) leaders as they discuss a study that supports testing at-risk patients, particularly those with diabetes and hypertension. Additionally, you will hear new recommendations from the NKF-American Society of Nephrology Task Force on re-assessing the inclusion of race in diagnosing CKD.
On this Webinar you will learn about:
- The lack of testing for CKD among at-risk adults.
- The importance of early detection for patients living with CKD.
- How to address gaps in care and increase awareness about CKD risk factors.
- Insights into task force recommendations on reassessing the inclusion of race in diagnosing CKD, in particular the impact to eGFR.
- The new HEDIS® measure from the NKF & National Committee for Quality Assurance®.
