Program Description:
Clinicians who care for patients in a rural setting face unique challenges related to opioid use disorder (OUD). Often, access to specialty care is minimal, patients have fewer resources than in urban environments, and significant cultural and demographic factors can impact all aspects of clinical care.
Reducing the burden of OUD is a critical individual and public health need. While behavioral and pharmacological therapies exist for OUD, treatment has been out of reach for many patients because too few health care professionals in rural communities are trained to treat OUD.
Project ECHO (Extension for Community Healthcare Outcomes) increases access to OUD care in rural communities by bringing together specialists and non-specialists through a web-based platform.
This webinar will highlight how health care providers can get involved in OUD TeleECHO clinics.
Objectives:
At the end of this webinar, attendees should be able to:
- Describe how the ECHO project can help health care professionals identify evidence-based treatments for opioid use disorder (OUD).
- Understand how the ECHO project can help define models of treatment for OUD and underlying mental health issues.
- Articulate how the ECHO project can help identify resources for treating OUD and integrating patients into a community care model.
