This is the first episode in a series focused on the legal issues surrounding the nationwide opioid crisis. To begin the series, Carla DewBerry discusses the laws and regulations impacting health care providers caring for persons at risk for an opioid addiction and highlights how certain state laws are attempting to prevent and remediate drug dependency. This episode also notes similar efforts at the federal level to address these issues.

About Triage
Triage: Rapid Legal Lessons for Busy Health Care Professionals has been created by K&L Gates to convey information about developments in health law through short podcasts.

If you work in the health care industry, you have grown accustomed to frequent changes in laws and regulations. On some days, it may seem like an insurmountable task to keep up with every change, especially as a new presidential administration and new policies take shape.

The K&L Gates Health Care Practice will regularly create Triage podcasts to help you learn about the latest developments in health law. Our lawyers will identify the most important changes and analyze the impact of these changes on our clients.
