AMA Board Chair to discuss opioid prescribing on TopDocs Radio

Patrice A. Harris, M.D., M.A., the chair of the American Medical Association’s (AMA) Board of Trustees and the chair of AMA’s Task Force to Reduce Opioid Abuse, will discuss the steps that AMA is taking to address the nation’s opioid drug abuse epidemic as well as the Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act of 2015 (MACRA) when she appears on the ‘Top Docs Radio’ program on the Business Radio-X Network at 12 p.m. today, Tuesday, June 28.   “More than 40 Americans die from an opioid overdose every day, while many more become addicted,” says Dr. Harris. “AMA is consequently committed to working on a long-term, multi-pronged public health approach to end the opioid abuse epidemic in America.” The MAG member and Atlanta-based psychiatrist adds that, “A key part of AMA’s initiative is to encourage physicians to register for and use their state prescription drug monitoring programs (PDMPs), which can turn the tide to end opioid abuse.” And she stresses that, “AMA will also continue to work with the Obama administration and Congress to develop balanced approaches to end prescription opioid abuse, it will support state and federal efforts to modernize and fund PDMPs, and it will promote safe, effective and evidence-based prescribing within the medical profession.” During her appearance on the ‘Top Docs’ show, Dr. Harris will also discuss what patients and physicians need to know about MACRA – which served as the catalyst for Medicare’s new “quality payment program.” Listeners can go to https://twitter.com/TopDocsOnBRX to submit questions to ‘Top Docs’ host C.W. Hall during the program. MAG sponsors the ‘Top Docs’ program at 12 p.m. on the second and fourth Tuesday of every month. Between downloads and live listeners, MAG’s ‘Top Docs’ show has reached more than 6,000 listeners – which includes people in all 50 states and 84 countries.
