Opioid Naive vs. Opioid Tolerate Assessment

I know this topic had been discussed a few years back, but I wanted to repost in case anyone has any new experience/knowledge on the topic. Has anyone operationalized an opioid assessment for tolerance, and if so, who does the responsibility lie with - the physician, the nursing staff, or the pharmacy? Is that assessment used for prescribing? Also, if anyone would be willing to share what their assessment looks like in the EMR it would be appreciated!

Thanks,
Michelle Heidel
