AMA Substance Use and Pain Care Task Force Recommendations


The American Medical Association (AMA) convened more than 25 national, specialty and state medical societies in two task force efforts between 2014-2019 to provide specific guidance to end the nation’s drug-related overdose and death epidemic and focus on the unique needs of patients with pain. The AMA task forces released recommendations urging physicians to take action to improve opioid prescribing practices, help prevent opioid use disorder and provide evidence-based, compassionate care for patients in pain.
