With the nuances of urine drug screening and pain management, the risk is high for compliance! In this presentation, we will discuss how risk is quantified in pain management along with numerous Risk Stratification Assessment tools to validate your compliance. We will also discuss the difference between “presumptive” and “confirmatory” drug screen testing. After this presentation, you will be able to judge your risk level based on regulatory guidance along with a review of enforcement actions paid by several pain management providers. At the end of this session, you will be able to distinguish between all types of drug screenings including Presumptive, Confirmatory, Reflex Testing, and Frequency measures. Please join us for an informative and very interactive hour!
