April 6, 2017 - Do No Harm Event
The Center for Prevention and Counseling was excited to partner with the DEA and The Partnership for a Drug-Free New Jersey in bringing Do No Harm to Atlantic Health System Newton Medical Center to alert prescribers to the new CDC guidelines hoping to prevent further cases of opiate addiction. Since 2008, The Center’s Coalition for Healthy and Safe Communities has been advocating for 100% prescriber registration and utilization of the New Jersey Prescription Drug Monitoring Program (NJPMP) which can alert prescribers to patients who misuse Rx medications.
Following the event, participants were asked "based upon this educational activity, what, if anything, will you do differently in the care of your patients. Here is a sampling of responses:
"Try and provide more education re: addiction behaviors, triggers, treatement and local support resources."
"Caution in using prescriptions. More discussion with patients. Limit prescriptions. Education."
"Apply what has been learned today to care, especially educate, awareness, approach, planning of chronic pain management. Doctor-patient relationship is very important."
"Educate students and parents on opioid alternatives when facing broken bones, wisdom teeth extraction, or sports injury."
"Listen more and ask more questions."
