Opioid Management Quality Initiative
In 2017, the CDC reported Louisiana among the top 10 states with the highest opioid prescribing rates.
In addition, the CDC notes that prescription opioid rates have quadrupled in the United States since 1999 while pain reports by Americans have remained unchanged. More than 40 people die daily from causes related to an overdose of these drugs.
LHA Trust Funds supports organizational efforts to provide safe effective care while reducing opioid use disorder and overdoses. LHA Trust Funds also recognizes that development of processes and procedures to address these issues takes time and attention. The LHA Trust Funds Malpractice Trust is proud to announce an opportunity for members to participate in our Opioid Management Member Quality Initiative in 2019.
