The Impact of the Opioid Crisis on Hospitals: A Nurse’s Perspective From the Bedside
The webinar will cover statistics (commonly reported and not reported hospital data), the ER patient (overdoses, other drugs, “seekers”, dependent and chronically ill and dependent and involved in trauma), hospitalized patient (overdoses, dependent and chronically ill, withdrawal and discharge challenges), and family and friends (bringing drugs in, when the family becomes the patient and violence).
