Today’s issue of WorkCompRecap features WCRI’s recent announcement of a free one-hour webinar next Thursday, October 20 on two of its recently published studies on opioid trends in 25 states.
During the webinar WCRI authors Ms. Dongchun Wang and Dr. Vennela Thumula will take audience questions and discuss findings from the third editions of Interstate Variations in Use of Opioids, which examined interstate variations and trends in the use of opioids and prescribing patterns of pain medications in the workers’ comp system; and Longer-Term Use of Opioids, which examined the prevalence of longer-term use of opioids among injured workers, and how often services recommended by medical treatment guidelines were used for monitoring and managing chronic opioid therapy.
