3 AM: How to Prevent After-Hours Calls for Pain Management

Dear Dr. Diane: I am a new medical director of a PALTC facility, and I am often called to write other physicians ’ pain scripts at all times of the night. My facility wants me to write the pain management policy and address this with the staff and clinicians. Do you have any advice on how I should approach this problem, and avoid getting called all times of the night?
