Professionals in pain management often have
special challenges and the Academy is here to help. Below are
several documents which will aid professionals in their practice-specific
challenges.
This document is very helpful for documenting
the authenticity of prospective patients. Unlike typical opioid
agreements this Treatment Attestation form necessitates patients
to make formal declarations about the truthfulness of information
provided, willingness to work with the prescribing practitioner,
and establishes their intent to obtain treatment only for personal
health matters.
Prescribers often need to dispose of controlled
medications. This short article from the KY Board of Medical
Licensure reviews best practices for disposing of returned medications
from patients, office stocked medications and pharmaceutical
samples. Use of a tracking document, having consistent policies,
and adhering to DEA and EPA regulations are emphasized in the
article. Contact numbers are provided through a web link to DEA
registered reverse distributors who remove controlled substances
from practitioners' offices for incineration.
