Management of chronic pain with opioid analgesics is associated with certain morbidity and mortality risks. Physicians can minimize risk to patients by use of ongoing drug monitoring technologies. This webinar will introduce prescribers to the art and science of drug testing including the use of different drug testing matrices and an explanation regarding the differences between screening immunoassay technology and confirmatory GC-MS or LC-MS testing. Through this webinar, participants will learn how to use currently available urine drug screening technology in everyday clinical practice settings including appropriate use of confirmatory tests to maximize accuracy for clinical interpretation. The appropriate incorporation of drug testing into a variety of clinical practice settings will also be discussed.
