Program description:
The opioid epidemic has disproportionately affected rural America, where accessibility to providers who prescribe Medications for Addiction Treatment (MAT) is frequently limited. Telemedicine offers an opportunity to connect providers to a larger geographic population, yet many had been reluctant to pursue this method of practice for the treatment of addiction. With the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, telemedicine visits increased exponentially, yet many providers of MAT still question safe, effective and legal ways to treat patients with OUD using this approach. This webinar explores the ongoing barriers that prevent a greater utilization of telemedicine for the treatment of OUD and reviews various methods to better incorporate it into your own practice.
Objectives:
At the end of this webinar, attendees will be able to:
- Describe the disparity between the prevalence of opioid addiction and access to treatment for rural communities.
- Explain the impact that the COVID-19 pandemic has had on utilization of telemedicine for management of MAT.
- Navigate the legal and practical constraints of prescribing buprenorphine in a telehealth setting.
- Implement changes to their practice that will allow them to more readily and comfortably care for patients with an OUD using telemedicine.
