Implementation of a pharmacist-managed clinic for patients with chronic nonmalignant pain.

Purpose: A pharmacist-managed chronic pain clinic (PMCPC) in a primary care setting is described.

Summary: As primary care providers (PCPs) may be unprepared or lack time to manage high-risk patients receiving opioids for chronic nonmalignant pain, alternative models of care are needed. The University of Colorado PMCPC is integrated into an internal medicine outpatient clinic.
