Introduction/objective: Physicians and other health care professionals are challenged regularly to balance managing pain for patients with chronic pain receiving chronic opioid therapy (COT) with following the national guidelines and standards regarding daily morphine milligram equivalents (MME). This quality improvement project aimed to determine the effect of referral to a multidisciplinary review panel on daily MME for patients receiving COT for chronic pain.
Methods: This quality improvement project included patients who had an established relationship with a primary care or community internal medicine clinician at a large health care organization and were referred to a newly created multidisciplinary review panel for their recommendations regarding treatment of pain.
Background: Family medicine clinical education poses logistic issues that we sought to address with the Student Education Team model.
Methods: The model combined team-based, patient-centered care with student experiences in a sustainable precepting model. Four learners successfully underwent precepting simultaneously.
