Description
Does anyone know of a urine expert? Well, whether your answer is yes or no, now is the time to engage in this continuing education discussion on urine drug monitoring. If you and your team believe that you could benefit from a thorough discussion on the complexities of urine drug screening and testing, then “you’re in” luck! One of the multiple strategies to reduce patient and healthcare professional risk is to incorporate urine drug screening, or perhaps better yet, urine drug testing into one’s practice. Everyone gets a cup! Everyone fills a cup! But then what? Shouldn’t a practitioner know what cross-reactants could create possible false-positives? Shouldn’t a practitioner know what active metabolites are expected for a respectively prescribed opioid medication? Are there methods to “beat the system” and outsmart urine drug screenings and testings? As part of the overall Substances of Abuse Specialty Pharmacist (SASP) certificate training program, please join us for this discussion on the most useful strategies for incorporating urine drug screenings, or preferably testings, into your own practice. If “you’re in” over your head, then this discussion is for you!
