New Pain Management Rules for Healthcare Professionals

Pain Management Education Requirements
The goal of the new pain management rules passed by the Washington state legislature is to keep patients safe and give practitioners who prescribe opioids the best practices in pain management. A key component of the rules is to encourage practitioners to become better educated in the safe and effective uses of these powerful drugs. The rules contain specific mandatory elements required by the law, as well as guidance for practitioners who care for patients with chronic noncancer pain.
