More failures by clinics to use pain agreements and material risk notices
Major medical associations and state agencies advocate for the use of pain agreements and Material Risk Notices to be completed with chronic pain patients before continuing to prescribe opioid medications long term. It’s amazing to me how many clinics still do not do so, as demonstrated by the lack of it within their own medical records. Two such clinics lately have been the NeuroSpine Institute of Eugene and Dr. Joel Lee’s office in Roseburg.
