Webinar Description: Once your clinical site leadership has demonstrated an interest in exploring buprenorphine or other pharmacotherapies as a treatment option for opioid use disorder (OUD) patients, and you have identified a champion to help lead the effort, what are the next steps? How can you ensure the broader clinical workforce is properly trained and confident in their ability to treat patients using pharmacotherapies? This session will review key clinical components of medications for addiction treatment (MAT), including buprenorphine treatment and its various formulations, clinic-wide implementation of new medications, and staff preparation, readiness and motivation. We will also review organizational capacity to access medication, properly screen and identify patients, and engage community partners and referral resources necessary to ensure OUD patients have access to a continuum of treatment and care services.

Educational Objectives:

  • Review specific buprenorphine formulations
  • Prepare a site needs/asset assessment to identify facilitators and barriers to MAT implementation
  • Review the training and certifications required for specific team members to implement MAT
  • Illustrate skills to assess program readiness to implement MAT, and motivate staff toward adopting this evidenced based practice
