K-TRACS, the Kansas prescription drug monitoring program, is offering a free continuing education course for providers to learn more about using PDMP information in their clinical decision-making. The course intends to help prescribers:

• Understand appropriate use and access of confidential K-TRACS information.
• Apply CDC guidelines for opioid prescribing to individualized patient care.
• Analyze trends in polysubstance use and recognize high-risk prescribing scenarios.

The course also includes practical applications of the 2022 CDC Clinical Practice Guidelines for Prescribing Opioids for Pain. The course is self-paced and available online. Learn more on the K-TRACS website.

The course is intended to meet the Kansas Board of Healing Arts requirement for Category III continuing education, has been planned and implemented in accordance with ACCME requirements and policies, and APRNs may claim 1.2 contact hours toward pharmacology.
