Clinicians should evaluate benefits and harms with patients within 1 to 4 weeks of starting opioid therapy for chronic pain or of dose escalation. Clinicians should evaluate benefits and harms of continued therapy with patients every 3 months or more frequently.

CDC’s Guideline for Prescribing Opioids for Chronic Pain is intended to improve communication between providers and patients about the risks and benefits of opioid therapy for chronic pain, improve the safety and effectiveness of pain treatment, and reduce the risks associated with long-term opioid therapy, including opioid use disorder and overdose. The Guideline is not intended for patients who are in active cancer treatment, palliative care, or end-of-life care.

Purpose:

CDC's Guideline for Prescribing Opioids for Chronic Pain is intended to improve communication between providers and patients about the risks and benefits of opioid therapy for chronic pain, improve the safety and effectiveness of pain treatment, and reduce the risks associated with long-term opioid therapy, including opioid use disorder and overdose. The Guideline is not intended for patients who are in active cancer treatment, palliative care, or end-of-life care.

Usage: If benefits do not outweigh harms of continued opioid therapy, clinicians should optimize other therapies and work with patients to taper opioids to lower dosages or to taper and discontinue opioids.

Library - Recommendation #7 - Opioid Therapy Risk Assessment
Actions:
Existing patient should be evaluated for risk of continued opioid therapy.: Checking if the trigger prescription meets the inclusion criteria for recommendation #7 workflow.
When: Named Event: order-sign
If: Applicability: Check whether the existing patient, without an end of life condition or risk assessment in the past 90 days, has taken an opioid-with-abuse-potential for 7 of the past 10 days or 63 of the past 90 days. (Is Recommendation Applicable?)
Then:

Then:
: Benefits outweigh risks, snooze 3 months
Then:
: N/A - see comment, snooze 3 months
