ST. LOUIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Assessments of a novel Continuing Medical Education (CME) initiative showed meaningful changes in opioid prescribing behavior and improvements in pain-patient outcomes. These assessments of REMEDIES (Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategies – An Employer-Driven CME Initiative for Efficacy and Safety) – were presented this past week at PAINWeek, the nation’s largest conference for clinicians with an interest in pain management.
Mallinckrodt Pharmaceuticals (NYSE: MNK) provided the regulatory framework for and served as the sole funder of this continuing medical education (CME) initiative, which trains prescribers on evidence-based approaches to optimize the evaluation, treatment and management of chronic pain. Opioid analgesics are a class of prescription medications intended to treat chronic pain, but they have a significant potential for abuse.
