Today’s issue of WorkCompRecap features an upcoming webinar from WCRI and Brandeis University focusing on how states can control the misuse and abuse of opioids. WCRI’s Dr. Vennela Thumula will share findings from the recent study Impact of Banning Physician Dispensing of Opioids in Florida, which focused on prescribing of opioids to newly injured workers before and after the implementation of legislation (HB 7095).
Dr. Peter Kreiner of Brandeis University will present initial findings from a multi-state database of prescription drug monitoring program (PDMP) data, including a comparison of patient, prescriber, and dispenser behavior across several states, as well as the effects of the new PDMP in Florida.
