Since 2000, Texas Medical Liability Trust (TMLT) has published closed claim studies, based on actual TMLT malpractice claims, to promote opportunities for learning. These studies are provided to help physicians and other health care professionals improve patient safety and reduce potential liability risks.

review risk management recommendations for opioid prescribing that may increase patient safety, improve outcomes, and reduce liability;
discuss the CDC's guidelines for the use of opioids to treat pain;
summarize the Texas Medical Board requirements for opioid prescribing;
recognize signs of drug-seeking behavior in patients; and
identify sources that outline best practices in the treatment of chronic pain, including multiple approached to pain management and alternative treatment options.
