State Specific Guidelines for Prescribing Controlled Substances

The Nurse Practitioner is a very vast role that requires extensive knowledge. One

important aspect of being a Nurse Practitioner is understanding and following the guidelines for

prescribing control substances within their state. In the state of Florida, the organization that is

responsible for creating and updating these guidelines is the Florida Health Department which

consists of sub-departments including the Florida Board of Nursing.

State Specific Guidelines and Recommendations
The Florida Health Department has set guidelines and recommendations for pain

management therapies and education for providers. The department was formed by the Florida

Legislature in 1996, however, the initiation of public health was dated back to 1888 and was then

named Florida State Board of Health (Florida Health Department, n.d.). The Florida Health

Department is easily accessible at www.floridahealth.gov. The department provides information

for providers for the prescription drug monitoring program, standards for operating pain clinics,

and guidelines for prescribing opioids for pain management (Florida Health Department, n.d.).

There is also information for providers about informing patients of non-opioid alternatives for

pain treatment and guidelines on using counterfeit-proof prescription pads.

There are no other official state resources for pain management. Reference to the

American Pain Society is no longer available as the association dissolved in 2019. However,

there are other organizations such as the American Chronic Pain Association which provide

education in pain management skills for both healthcare providers and patients. There

is also the American Academy of Pain Medicine which focuses on multidisciplinary approaches

for pain management and incorporating modalities from numerous disciplines to ensure thorough

evaluation and treatment of patients with pain (American Academy of Pain Medicine, n.d.).
