Improving Patient Safety in the Opioid Crisis: What is the Prescriber's Role?
Heroin and opioid-related overdose deaths are at epidemic levels nationally and in DuPage County. Opioid use disorder often starts with prescribed opioids, and may lead to overdose.

Physicians, dentists, oral surgeons, nurses, pharmacists and medical office staff are invited to be a part of the solution by learning best practices from national and local experts. The role of prescribers, and the latest guidance and resources addressing opioid use disorder will be offered.
