Bridging the Gap: The Transitional Pain Service and Role of the NP

Persistent opioid use following surgery is common and contributes to long term opioid use. The Transitional Pain Service is a multidisciplinary team that provides a comprehensive approach to addressing postoperative pain and aims to prevent persistent opioid use after surgery. The Transitional Pain Service collaborates with patients to safely wean opioids after surgery while balancing adequate pain control, physical function, and quality of life. During this session, attendees will learn about the prevalence and impact persistent postsurgical pain, the role of the Transitional Pain Service in preventing persistent opioid use after surgery, various clinical models of established Transitional Pain Services, and practical tools for establishing a Transitional Pain Service with a focus on the role of Nurse Practitioners.
