Management of Acute Perioperative Pain With Opioid Use Disorder

Fentanyl-era surgery demands sharper perioperative pain plans—do yours align with MOUD best practice? In this on-demand session, continue or initiate buprenorphine, including microinduction, then apply multimodal and regional analgesia (ketamine, lidocaine, nerve blocks) to reduce tolerance and hyperalgesia. Evaluate algorithms for methadone and naltrexone, treat withdrawal quickly, and enhance team workflows that carry inpatient starts into durable outpatient care.

Rapid Clinical Updates: Updates in Opiate Use Disorder: Advances in Therapies Across All Ages

Fentanyl-era care moves fast—so will you. In this rapid, case-based update spanning adolescents to older adults, apply evidence to start MOUD confidently, stabilize with high‑dose buprenorphine or methadone, and sustain recovery with extended‑release options. Design micro‑inductions, critique naltrexone timing, and integrate harm‑reduction to reduce mortality and stigma, then ensure safe handoffs that improve outcomes beyond discharge.

Managing Pain in Postoperative Patients: What the Hospitalist Needs to Know

Sharper recoveries start at the bedside. In this case-rich activity, assess pain precisely across ages and cognition, identify mechanisms, and implement multimodal plans: acetaminophen/NSAIDs, regional techniques, and targeted adjuvants to limit opioids. Titrate and rotate using equianalgesic principles, avoid meperidine and long-acting agents, set PCA lockouts without basal in opioid-naive, and monitor outcomes to curb delirium and elevate satisfaction.

Supporting Patients and Care Teams in Responding to and Reducing In-Hospital Substance Use

Inside the hospital, substance use often signals unmet pain, withdrawal, or stigma—not defiance. Through cases from two systems, you’ll identify drivers, recognize risk, and demonstrate non‑punitive, harm‑reduction responses. We describe evidence-based care, including medication for addiction treatment, and lead interprofessional planning with nurses to design and evaluate patient‑centered policies that reduce use, build trust, and improve outcomes.

Opioid Use Disorders in Adolescents

Fentanyl-era realities meet adolescent care in this on-demand course led by Dr. Lee Trope, who launched an inpatient buprenorphine induction pathway with outpatient linkage. You will review shifting drug-supply trends, describe youth overdose epidemiology, and understand how to apply evidence-based screening and treatment. We detail and evaluate overdose prevention and harm reduction so you can provide safer, more effective care.

Inpatient Management of Opioid Use Disorder

Eighty thousand opioid deaths demand action on the wards. Led by Addiction Medicine hospitalists, this on‑demand course shows you how to initiate buprenorphine confidently, including micro‑induction for fentanyl exposure; identify and manage precipitated withdrawal; screen for xylazine and apply harm reduction. You’ll synthesize protocols, refine dosing, and leave ready to design safer inpatient pathways and improve outcomes.

How to be a Hospitalist Opioid Use Disorder Champion: Improving the Quality of Care for Patients

The hospitalist role in providing effective care for patients with opioid use disorder (OUD) has never been more important. In this webinar, part one of two on the topic, members of the SHM SUD Special Interest Group will discuss the current state of addiction medicine and the roles that hospitalists can take within their practice to overcome barriers and improve the quality of care for their patients with opioid use disorder. Topics will include how to screen patients, building protocols and pathways for treatment, QI projects, orders for discharge, and linkage to care. Additionally, speakers will discuss how to acquire data on the issue and how to start building capacity within the hospitalist team.

Acute Pain in Patients with Opioid Use Disorder: Leveling Up Analgesia While Dialing Down Risk

Bedside decisions shouldn’t trade relief for risk. In this on-demand course, clinicians describe the roles of buprenorphine and methadone, recognize openings to start MOUD during acute and acute-on-chronic pain in hospitalized patients with serious illness, and implement team-based plans with outpatient partners. We then apply palliative care communication to discuss comorbid pain and OUD, advancing safer analgesia and more dignified hospital care.

Rapid Clinical Updates: Hospitalist Management of Opioid Use Disorder

U.S. drug-related overdose deaths continue rising, with more than 100,000 individuals dying in the 12-month period ending in April 2021. Amidst this, hospitalists must be first-line responders in being able to assess and diagnose opioid use disorder, while offering evidence-based treatment. Participants will leave this session empowered to provide life-saving treatment for hospitalized patients with opioid use disorder.

This session is moderated by Joseph Sweigart, MD, FHM, SFHM. Our panelists include Marlene Martin, MD and Susan Calcaterra, MD, MPH.
