PROMPT Position & Overview:  Professionals for Rational Opioid Monitoring & Pharmacotherapy (PROMPT) is a multidisciplinary professional advocacy group of clinicians, some of whom include researchers and academicians from various healthcare fields.  We promote the concept of balance in drug regulation and policy.  PROMPT has serious concerns about the safety of chronic opioid use; we are therefore in favor of mitigating these risks with appropriate proactive and ongoing validated interventions intended for the benefit of patient care and public safety. We advocate for clinician education, proactive risk stratification, and appropriate therapeutic monitoring.
