EBPOM 2018 - 14 | The realities of pain management

What is pain control for a perioperative patient? What is the 'subacute period' and do you incorporate it into your practice? How do we keep patients 'opioid free' once they leave our care? Furthermore - is the curriculum for medical professionals changing in light of the 'opioid epidemic'? The tide is undoubtedly turning, the conversation covers lots of good news related to a rising awareness of a very serious problem which includes a need to educate the public.
