**
**  Recommendation #1
**    Nonopioid therapies are at least as effective as opioids for many common types of acute pain. 
**    Clinicians should maximize use of nonpharmacologic and nonopioid pharmacologic therapies as 
**    appropriate for the specific condition and patient and only consider opioid therapy for acute 
**    pain if benefits are anticipated to outweigh risks to the patient. Before prescribing opioid 
**    therapy for acute pain, clinicians should discuss with patients the realistic benefits and 
**    known risks of opioid therapy (recommendation category: B; evidence type: 3).
**
**  When
**    Provider is prescribing an opioid analgesic with ambulatory misuse potential in the outpatient setting
**    Prescription is for treating acute pain.
**    Opioid review is useful for this patient:
**      Patient is 18 or over
**      Patient does not have evidence of sickle cell disease
**      Patient does not have findings indicating limited life expectancy
**      Patient does not have orders for therapies indicating end of life care
**      Patient is not undergoing active cancer treatment:
**        Patient has had at least 2 office visits within the past 12 months with an oncology specialist present, or
**        Patient has had at least 2 office visits within the past 12 months with a CDC malignant cancer condition diagnosis
**      Patient does not have conditions likely terminal for opioid prescribing present
**    Patient is opioid naive:
**      No indication of opioid use in the past 90 days from a prescription, self report (for future implementation), or a dispensing event (for future implementation)
**  Then
**    Consider Nonopioid Treatment Options for Acute Pain:
**      Document - Record reason for opioid therapy
**      Snooze - Attempt alternative therapy, snooze 3 months
**      Order - Select alternative therapies from order set
**      Snooze - N/A see comment, snooze 3 months
**      Remove - Will remove triggering medication order
