Evidence-Based Approaches to Pain Control
This course is designed to teach healthcare professionals effective pain management methods that do not rely on opioids. It encourages the use of patient-centered approaches, various therapies, technology, and self-care strategies while collaborating with the interprofessional team. Overcoming obstacles, such as stigma and unequal access to pain treatments, is emphasized to improve pain management practices.
Recognize the need to balance the harms of uncontrolled pain with the potential harms of pain treatment.
Select appropriate tools to assess pain.
Recall physiologic processes and terminology related to pain.
Identify pain treatments that can be combined to form multimodal treatment plans.
Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer (LGBTQ+): Health Disparities
The Health and Medicine Division’s (HMD) Healthy People 2030 and the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality have highlighted the health disparities affecting LGBTQ+ populations. As evidence of health-illness patterns continues to be reported in the literature, this module presents the complex social determinants of health unique among the LGBTQ+ community. Information will be analyzed based on the six conceptual perspectives for understanding LGBTQ+ health suggested by the HMD: stigma, social constructionism, identity affirmation, life course, intersectionality, and social ecology. The goal of this course is to provide social workers, nurses, occupational therapists, pharmacists, speech-language pathologists and audiologists, physical therapists, and physicians with education regarding the issues of the LGBTQ+ community within the healthcare system.
Identify the lifespan health considerations of LGBTQ+ individuals (childhood, adolescence, adulthood, and older adulthood), including coming out and family systems. Identify social determinants of health and health disparities among LGBTQ+ populations. Define LGBTQ+ health risk factors, including physical, mental, psychosocial, and cultural. Analyze barriers faced by LGBTQ+ people in accessing healthcare and why these barriers exist. Identify strategies for providing sensitive and informed healthcare for the LGBTQ+ community.
Drug Diversion, SUD, and Pain Management
Safely managing pain for the people in your care requires you to be knowledgeable about pain management recommendations. It is important to understand the risk factors for misuse and substance use disorder (SUD) as well as the signs that someone has a SUD and how to treat it. Unfortunately, SUD is one of the drivers of drug diversion. Therefore, it is also critical that you understand drug diversion tactics and behaviors so you can help prevent it. The goal of this course is to educate healthcare providers in all settings on pain management and preventing substance use disorder and diversion.
Discuss drug diversion and related drug diversion behaviors and activities.
Identify various classifications of medications that are diverted or misused.
Describe screening and assessment tools helpful in identifying substance use disorders.
Recognize nonpharmacological and pharmacological treatments of substance use disorders.
Explain options for pain management.
