  3. Ongoing evaluation of therapeutic effectiveness and clinical justification of currently prescribed controlled substances therapies and other pharmacologic or non-pharmacologic alternatives to managing patients with complaints of chronic pain
  4. Ways to incorporate consistent use of the Tennessee Department of Health Controlled Substance Monitoring Database into clinical decision making prior to prescribing opioids and benzodiazepines to prevent diversion, misuse, abuse, and potentiation of addiction
