CDC Guideline: 2022 CDC Clinical Practice Guideline for Prescribing Opioids for Pain |
Recommendation Topic: Determining Whether or Not to Initiate Opioids for Pain (Source) |
Recommendation Description: Nonopioid therapies are preferred for subacute and chronic pain. Clinicians should maximize use of nonpharmacologic and nonopioid pharmacologic therapies as appropriate for the specific condition and patient and only consider initiating opioid therapy if expected benefits for pain and function are anticipated to outweigh risks to the patient. Before starting opioid therapy for subacute or chronic pain, clinicians should discuss with patients the realistic benefits and known risks of opioid therapy, should work with patients to establish treatment goals for pain and function, and should consider how opioid therapy will be discontinued if benefits do not outweigh risks.

Opioid review useful? | Yes | See Opioid Review Useful sub-routine | |||

Pain treatment plan created or edited in past 90 days? | No | Look for a pain treatment plan that has been established or edited within the past 90 days (including the day of the visit). The following criteria should be met: • the treatment plan has an initiation date or an edited date within the past 90 days. • the treatment plan should have been created or reviewed within the past 90 days by the same individual who is writing the new prescription. |

Patient is 18 years or older and has an outpatient Medication Request of Suboxone 2 MG / 0.5 MG Sublingual Film (RXNorm 1010603) authored "Today" as well as a Care Plan most recently updated 120 days prior to today. Patients "Dosage Instructions" are 1 Film per day for 30 days. Due to the most recent review of the Care Plan having been conducted more than 89 days prior to today this will result in a summary message: "Recommend creation, review or update of opioid treatment plan." | Request JSON example-rec-02-out-careplan-not-revisited | Response JSON example-rec-02-out-careplan-not-revisited |
