Take My Pain Away: Inpatient Sickle Cell Management

Faster relief starts here: for ED and inpatient teams, synthesize ASH living guidance with real cases to differentiate VOC from chronic pain, implement rapid individualized protocols, and optimize PCA-based analgesia with safe hydration and evidence-backed adjuncts. Standardize team pathways and discharge plans, address bias and opioid stigma, and design care that shortens stays and elevates equitable, patient-centered outcomes.

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.

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.
