Pain Medication Management Doesn't Have to be Stressful
At PainRx Consulting, we are dedicated to providing specialized consulting services in pain management, palliative care, and opioid risk mitigation. With a team of clinical pharmacists boasting over 20 years of combined experience, we strive to offer innovative solutions and educational resources to empower healthcare providers to lose the fear and drop the "I'm not comfortable" that comes with seeing a pain or OUD patient. Pain (and OUD thanks to an ever-changing opioid crisis) is everywhere-- in every clinical setting. The patients NEED educated and compassionate providers. Are you willing to be one? We want to help!

Shelley Fortner, Pharm.D, BCPMP
Cofounder and Managing Partner
Pain and opioid use disorder can leave clinical teams facing difficult decisions.
​
My work spans inpatient and outpatient opioid stewardship, buprenorphine access, and palliative care. I understand the challenges of turning clinical knowledge into everyday practice.
​
At PainRx, I help teams strengthen their approach to pain and OUD through practical education, clearer protocols, and support for complex medication decisions.
A PDMP report is only useful when your team knows what to do next.
​
Leading a pharmacist-run inpatient pain service has shown me how much thoughtful medication review and clear communication can improve care.
​
At PainRx, I help teams turn PDMP findings into actionable care plans, strengthen opioid stewardship workflows, and build confidence in pain management.
