dc.description.abstractIn the city of Philadelphia there were over 4,000 opioid over-doses in 2018. There were many lives affected by over-prescribed medication and the dire need to have better policies and practices in place when delivering care is crucial. Better practices lead to shorter hospital stays, fewer readmissions and is cost efficient to all involved. Prescribed medications need to be better evaluated prior to dispensing for a non-acute pain. It is the pharmaceutical companies and healthcare provider’s obligation to be more educated when delivering care for the community that it serves. It is imperative to build better relationships between patients, physicians, and community leaders to alleviate this current opioid epidemic. The concerns within our current health care system are based on biased beliefs. These beliefs can lead to barriers of healthcare and give inadequate care for those who deserves the best quality of healthcare.
