Dr. Steven Nelson's Notes on the CADCA Training

Notes from CADCA conference National Harbor, MD 7-10 Feb 2011

IDEAS FOR IMPLEMENTATION:

1. Which chronic pain patients need to have their contracts posted on CSD? Will discuss with Lynn Webster, Jim Cloyd.
2. JCAOH pain policy change in ERs needs to be explored. This matter addressed with Ron Rowe, legislative assistant to Sen. Orrin Hatch. (email Jack Klein, Kevin Sabet re: JCAOH pain policy.)
3. SBIRT questions need to be incorporated into American Board of Family Practice recertification exams.
4. DMV role in addressing drugged driving. 1 of 3 dead drivers had drugs in their systems. How can we establish a quantifiable threshold of impairment for drugged driving?
