Prescriber willingness to manage prescription opioids: Findings from secret shopper studies

About this webinar: In 2016, the US Centers For Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) released guidelines for opioid management, calling for a decrease in opioid prescribing in light of increasing opioid overdoses. Following the release of these guidelines and other policies to restrict inappropriate prescribing, many patients expressed concern that they were losing access to providers to manage their long-standing pain. In this webinar, Dr Pooja Lagisetty presents the methods and results of a series of audits, commonly known as "secret shopper" studies, that were used to assess access to care. About the speaker: Dr Pooja Lagisetty is an Associate Professor at the University of Michigan Medical School and a research scientist at the Center for Clinical Management and Research at the VA Ann Arbor Healthcare System.
