Improve compliance with TN Together regulations and Tennessee chronic pain guidelines while reducing alert fatigue, the TN Together order questions have been updated when prescribing opioids to include a question about offering naloxone or when ordering a random urine drug screen on select patients.
Details:
New order question for documenting offering naloxone to patients with an opioid prescription of more than 3 days and other high-risk features (TN Code 53-11-308).
The naloxone co-prescribing BPA alert is now suppressed if the patient already has naloxone.
If the patient has been taking opioids for more than 90 days, a question will show if they are due for a random urine drug screen (UDS) per TN Chronic Pain Guidelines. If you want to order a UDS, click the order random UDS box, and a prompt to add the LAB6100 test when signing will pop up.
The last UDS date will show up in the box if it was done at VUMC.
