The Joint Commission

This 1-hour webinar featured Dr. Jeanmarie Perrone from the University of Pennsylvania Medical Center & Dr. Scott Weiner from Brigham and Women’s Hospital sharing their experiences with setting up programs to encourage safe prescribing of opioids and reducing opioid-related deaths. The speakers shared pearls & lessons learned, with the idea of providing a framework for other systems to implement similar programs as we work towards solutions to the opioid addiction and overdose epidemic.
