<p>By Navy Capt. Lynn Welling, commanding officer, Naval Hospital Jacksonville, Fla.<br><br>"One way we hope to make a positive difference for our 215,000 beneficiaries and our 2,500 staff who care for them is through our partnership with the Northeast Florida public and private health care organizations involved in the Quality Collaborative of Northeast Florida — an initiative of the Global Center for Health and Medical Diplomacy at the University of North Florida. Recently we have come together to address our regional problem involving the misuse of controlled substances. This abuse has reached epidemic levels in the U.S. and is especially prevalent in Florida. As a practicing emergency medicine physician, there are usually two or three people who come in to our emergency room (ER) every shift with what looks like drugseeking behavior."<br></p>
