It Takes A Team:

Providing EVIDENCE-BASED CARE TO PEOPLE LIVING WITH OPIOID USE DISORDER

Module Overview

This module explores the care team’s role in supporting patients living with and recovering from substance use disorder (SUD).  As opioid overdose-related death rates continue to rise in Pennsylvania, it is more important than ever to ensure all staff members have the tools and training to support evidence-based care for SUD.  This session will review a variety of tools that are available to assist care teams with screening and identifying patients living with SUD, addressing how stigma impacts care of patients with SUD, utilizing motivational interviewing techniques, providing community resources for patients, and determining how to support patients living in recovery.

Audience: Non-prescriber, but prescribers can still get credit for the session 

Session Time: 1 hour

 

Objectives:

  1. Use the Pennsylvania Prescription Drug Monitoring Program (PDMP) as part of the care team strategy to screen and identify people living with SUD.

  2. Identify tools, communication strategies, and community resources to support evidence-based care for people living with SUD.

  3. Explain how providing evidence-based care and support to people living in recovery can promote continued commitment to beneficial lifestyle changes.
