Battling the Opioid Crisis in Pennsylvania
Health care providers and care teams are essential in subsiding the opioid epidemic. Quality Insights has partnered with the Department of Health (DOH) to provide education and resources to assist in navigating the intricacies of this evolving crisis.
Quality Insights offers live and virtual educational sessions on topics including safe and effective opioid prescribing, strategies to identify substance use disorder, addressing substance use disorder, and referring patients to treatment. Certain health care providers are eligible to receive Continuing Medical Education (CME) (particular modules meet additional Pennsylvania-specific licensing and relicensing requirements).
Take Advantage of No-Cost CME-eligible Opioid Education
Don't miss this opportunity to attend live and/or virtual opioid education sessions at no cost to you! All educational modules meet the Medical and Osteopathic Board’s continuing medical education (CME) credit requirement of Patient Safety/Risk Management, and modules 3-7 can be used to meet the PA Act 124 of 2016 CME requirements for opioid education. Please note: A provider cannot use the same module to meet both Patient Safety/Risk Management and Act 124 requirements.
Sessions also provide 1.0 nursing contact hours (PA only).
