The Exploding Opioid Crisis:
A Fiercely Emerging Threat

Session Overview

There is no better example of “failure to rescue” than the opioid crisis – it is exploding. The public, our youth, our families, and our organizations are under attack. Most of us are unaware of the explosion of opioid overdoses until they hurt someone close to us. It is up to our healthcare and public safety leaders to act now. Please join us as we address the magnitude of the problem – the who, what, where, and why. Help us identify ways our patient safety community leaders can provide solutions through leadership, practices, and technologies.

Critical issues include:

The Addiction Trap of our patients
Counterfeit medications
Fentanyl Contaminated drugs on the street
New Contaminants in drugs on the street
The Direct Attack on our children and youth
Social Media – the “Perfect Delivery System”
Narcan Training – What Everyone Should Know
Diversion of medications within care centers
The “5 Rights of Pain Management”

Please join our emerging community of practice to address what caregivers and families can do to protect our teams, families, and loved ones.

We offer these online webinars at no cost to our participants.
