Abstract
Pain Management has been a focus of legislators and policy specialists over the last several years. The increase in abuse of opioids, coupled with the increase in both intentional and unintentional overdose, has caused a public outcry, demanding changes to the way pain medicine is prescribed. Regulators listened and federal laws were passed requiring individual states to implement new rules and regulations regarding the prescription of controlled substances, specifically as it relates to extended pain management. Compliance with those new rules is of utmost importance to regulatory bodies and the public. This study looks at the impact of the written communication provided to stakeholders from their regulatory agency, and the subsequent compliance with the new rules.
