Prevent: Reduce inappropriate prescribing and expand pain management
Improve and expand pain management practices
Develop and increase adoption of models of safe opioid prescribing policies in hospitals and health systems, including standardization of electronic order sets.
Improve access to multi-modal, evidence-based pain management across all medical professions.
Expand utilization of chronic pain self-management programs, such as those offered through Healthy Aging NC.
Provide training to healthcare providers to reduce stigma of treating chronic pain with cultural competency across different populations, but particularly for HMPs, including people with substance use disorder, communities of color, military veterans, and the elderly.
