In this podcast, Jesse Caplan, Amy Fogelman, M.D and Deb Waugh explore the medical, legal and compliance challenges faced by practitioners and healthcare organizations in prescribing opioids for chronic pain during the COVID-19 pandemic. We will be looking at these challenges from three different perspectives – from a physician who is an expert in opioid prescribing standard of care; from a licensed clinical social worker who has designed and conducted hundreds of physician competency evaluations and training programs; and from an attorney who has represented healthcare organizations and healthcare regulatory agencies.
