Dr. Ryan Stanton talks to Dr. Alexis LaPietra, DO, FACEP, and Dr. Mark Rosenberg, DO, FACEP, about being better stewards of opioids and the emergency departments role in the opioid crisis. They discuss innovations in pain management and how to safely and more effectively treat the patient without opioids. At St Joseph Regional Medical Center in NJ, they have seen an 82% reduction in the prescriptions of opioids using ALTO (Alternatives to Opioids). “Its real simple, if you’re not part of the solution, you’re part of the problem.” Find out how to be part of the solution on this episode of ACEP’s Frontline.
