Take a look at this article and think about what happens in your clinic when you or a colleague inherit a patient who has been maintained for some time on opioids for chronic pain.  I think the coaching tip is to try to consider providing a therapeutic bridge for the patient until a solid plan of care can be created and agreed upon.
