**
**  Recommendation #8
**    Before starting and periodically during continuation of opioid therapy, clinicians should 
**    evaluate risk for opioid-related harms and discuss risk with patients. Clinicians should 
**    work with patients to incorporate into the management plan strategies to mitigate risk, 
**    including offering naloxone (recommendation category: A; evidence type: 4).
**
**  When
**    Order for opioid analgesics with ambulatory misuse potential:
**    CDC 2022 guideline general inclusion criteria met 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
**  Then
**    Incorporate Risk Mitigation Strategies Into Opioid Therapy:
**      Order - Naloxone ordered
**      Document - Verified patient is on Naloxone an has been educated on use, snooze 3 months
**      Document - Naloxone discussed but declined, snooze 3 months
**      Snooze - N/A see comment, snooze 3 months
