Addressing the opioid epidemic in general medical settings
Abstract:
As awareness of the opioid epidemic in this country has grown, so has the number of efforts to respond to it. This article reviews national and state efforts involving the medical community. It also reports on new funding coming to Minnesota with passage of the 21 st Century Cures Act, and it calls for increased involvement at the health system level. The hope is that with greater awareness of these efforts, health care providers will be better equipped to address the full spectrum of the epidemic.
