The present article outlines the process of instituting an assessment of risk of problematic use of medications with new patients in an ambulatory chronic noncancer pain (CNCP) clinic. It is hoped that the authors' experience through this iterative process will fill the gap in the literature by setting an example of an application of the 'universal precautions' approach to chronic pain management.
