Navigating pain management in nursing home settings requires resident comfort, functional recovery and safe medication practices. While opioids remain an important tool, opioid dependence can unintentionally develop during long-term care stays.
Allied health professionals can help avoid these outcomes through therapeutic trust, functional assessment and non-pharmacological care strategies. Even so, team-based risk mitigation cannot succeed in a silo. Without direct prescriber partnership and active collaboration to support rehabilitation, efforts may fall flat.
Our session uncovers strategies to build bridges between prescribers and allied health teams. Join Comagine Health for this free, interactive 60-minute learning event featuring Research Professor and Safe Opioid Stewardship Council member Dr. Jake Magel, PT, PhD, DSc, FAAOMPT, University of Utah Department of Physical Therapy and Athletic Training. Drawing on his extensive National Institutes of Health-funded research, Dr. Magel will explore how rehabilitation and therapy teams can actively collaborate with primary care providers and nursing staff to mitigate opioid risks.
You’ll also have the opportunity to connect with fellow health professionals and discuss solutions during a peer engagement and Q&A segment.
All are invited! Let’s partner to transform pain management and safety in your facility. Register today to save your spot.
