Statewide electronic Prescription Drug Monitoring Programs (PDMPs) have played an increasing role in addressing patient safety by allowing medical providers to more easily review and identify potential patterns of medication misuse. However, even when equipped with PDMP-provided information (e.g., prescription opioid dispensing records), many providers may be uncertain how to apply this knowledge in practice. Specifically, clinicians may have concerns about how to then engage in meaningful and productive conversations with patients about opioid-related risks or misuse. The National Substance Use Warmline is a prescriber-facing resource that is pleased to offer additional clinical support and guidance under these circumstances. The Warmline provides “in the moment,” free and individualized support on substance use evaluation and management to any U.S. healthcare provider through a unique tele-consultation service model.

During this webinar, representatives from the Substance Use Warmline will share:

1. A program overview including information on how clinicians can access its consultation services
2. Case examples highlighting how Warmline consultants have supported clinical decision-making incorporating PDMP-based information
