Opioids in Medicine:
Improving Pain Management in the Midst of Crisis

The 2020 International Conference on Opioids (ICOO 2020) has assembled the best and brightest minds in opioid analgesics who will explore the challenges of using opioids to treat pain. They will present the latest research, real world knowledge, and practical solutions aimed at improving patient outcomes and reducing risk to both your patients and your practice. As new opioid practice strategies emerge, how will you integrate them into your practice? Join us and learn how.

Pain is among the most common complaints in primary care, including those with chronic symptoms. With careful selection, opioids can be used to manage pain safely and effectively. They are cost effective and allow increased numbers of patients to return to active productive lives in society. Yet, while opioids have been with us for over 4000 years, the landscape of opioid therapies is rapidly evolving. Federal and state regulations are swiftly changing to address the current opioid death and abuse epidemic. New formulations and treatment options are emerging that may reduce inherent risk to patients. Education is key to staying current and maximizing the effectiveness of opioids in clinical practice.

ICOO 2020 features top thought leaders who will share their latest research and real world knowledge in the evolving paradigm of opioids in medicine.

Among the many topic areas covered at ICOO 2020:

  • The latest trends in the clinical application of opioids in pain management
  • The use of opioid stewardship programs to optimize pain management and reduce risk
  • Patient Selection for Use of Opioids to Treat Pain; Detecting Abuse, Diversion and Addiction
  • Opioid Management in the midst of an opioid crisis for chronic pain patients
  • Updates on FDA Approvals: Abuse Deterrent Opioid Formulations and Their Applications
  • Tapering Patients Off Opioids
  • Alternatives to Opioid Therapy for Pain
  • Treatment of Co-Morbid Conditions, e.g. Addiction and Bipolar Disorder and Addiction
  • Patient Selection and Use of Opioids to Treat Pain in Patients with Comorbid Addiction
  • Use of Opioids in Chronic Non-Cancer Patients as well as Cancer Survivors
  • Opioid Education for Prescribers – Does it work?
  • Opioid Rotation and Titration – Best Practices
  • Opioid Management and Access for Palliative Care Patients
  • Rethinking Medication Treatment for Opioid Use Disorder
  • Medical Marijuana and Opioids
  • And Much More!

 

Why should you attend?

According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control, as the clinical use of opioids has risen over the past two decades, opioid-associated harm has risen in parallel. We must find a balance in the use of these powerful medications that supports their valuable role in healing while avoiding harm. This intensive 2+ day program led by renowned specialists is designed to inform primary care physicians, pain specialists, pharmacists and others with new data and essential information in the best practices, abuses and legal ramifications of opioids.

  • 94% of attendees at ICOO 2019 said the conference increased their competence
  • 87% of attendees at ICOO 2019 said the conference will improve their performance

The data can be downloaded by journal managers in XML format. The data is not otherwise publicly available.

    Erasure

    This data can be erased by the journal manager using the Merge Users tool, without affecting any editorial records. The erasure is subject to the considerations raised in the section “Scholarly Publishing, Data Privacy, and the Public Interest”, above.

    Contributor Metadata Information

    Data Transfer

    We do not sell or transfer to third parties user information from this system.

    General Visitor Information

    PKP applications also collect general visitor usage data, including:

    ● Cookie information, to manage session history. Cookies are required to maintain a login session in PKP applications.

    ● Optionally, detailed usage log data, including: IP address; pages visited; date visited; and browser information, in application log files, as part of the Usage Statistics plugin. An anonymization option is available to privatize this information.

    ● Optionally, country, region and city information, in the metrics database. This data collection requires additional setup and is not enabled by default.

    Other data may be tracked, either on the server or via third parties:

    ● Script loads from CDN servers;

    ● IP address information (including date, browser, etc.) in web server logs (separate from application log files as part of the Usage Statistics plugin).

    Detailed instructions in limiting the amount of data you collect, and providing consent for the data you collect, can be found below.

    Storage

    ● Cookies: A cookie (usually titled “OJSSID” or “OMPSID”) is created when first visiting a PKP application and is stored on the visitor’s computer. It is only used to store a session ID, and to facilitate logins. (If the visitor blocks cookies, OJS will still work properly, though they will not be able to log in.)

    ● Usage Statistics log files: As part of the usage statistics framework and plugin, OJS may store detailed application log files in the submission files directory (configured as the files_dir parameter in the OJS config.inc.php file), in a “usageStats” directory.

    ● Geographical data: Filtered usage data, including possibly geographic data, is also stored in the OJS database, in a “metrics” table.

    Availability and Access

    ● Cookies: These are available via the visitor’s browser settings.

    ● Usage Statistics log files: Only individuals with server file access can access application log files.

    ● Geographical data: Journal Managers can access filtered usage data by using the OJS usage report plugins.

    Erasure

    ● Cookies: These can be deleted via the visitor browser.

    ● Usage Statistics log files: These can be erased by system administrators with file access.

    ● Geographical data: This can only be erased by deleting records from the database directly, which also typically requires system administrator access.
