USA. Hospitals Can Exclude Measuring Co-prescribing Methadone and Buprenorphine With Benzodiazepines in Palliative Care
In a final rule published August 16 in the Federal Register, the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services said that information did not need to be collected on patients on methadone or buprenorphine receiving benzodiazepines as part of palliative care. (It also said it didn’t need to include cancer care.) (ATForum, USA, 21.08.2019)
