Consensus-Based Approach to Managing Opioids in Patients with Serious Illness

Diane E. Meier, CAPC's director emerita, co-authored a paper on management of opioid misuse and opioid use disorder (OUD) among people living with serious illness. Using a modified Delphi method, the authors solicited expert opinions to "provide evidence-based management guidance to clinicians caring for individuals with serious illness who develop opioid misuse or OUD." The field is awaiting results and recommendations from this study, which be able to provide immediate guidance to clinicians, and more.
