“…They report that practising pharmacists found the tool-which described risk factors for adverse outcomes from opioids and corresponding potential interventions to minimize risk-useful but potentially challenging to incorporate into their daily practice. 3 Hopefully, these investigators will assess the impact of this tool on opioid use limiting the magnitude of dosage ranges, limiting initiation of parenteral administration to specific scenarios, and enhancing vigilance in administration of long-acting opioid formulations (patches or sustained-release oral dosage formulations) are examples of processes that pharmacists could undertake to reduce the risk associated with any obligatory opioid use. 6 Alternatively, a pharmacist's review of the quantity of opioid provided upon discharge may identify opportunities to reduce opioid exposure, although this approach has not been successful in all settings.…”

“…It was created in response to the need for a pharmacist-led opioid stewardship initiative based on best practices from the literature and feedback from local pharmacist focus groups. 9 This clinical tool provides a systematic checklist for pharmacists to follow to enhance the safety of opioid prescribing while ensuring effective pain management. 9 The latest version of the tool is available in Appendix 1 (see https://www.cjhp-online .ca/ index.php/cjhp/issue/view/205.)…”

“…jours. 3 Avec un peu de chance, ces enquêteurs évalueront son impact sur l'utilisation des opioïdes au sein de leur établissement et feront part de leurs découvertes à l'occasion d'un article ultérieur. Il ne s'agit là que d'un exemple d'outils et d'autres ressources qui sont désormais disponibles pour établir ou renforcer un programme de gestion des opioïdes.…”
