Episode 7: Why Language Matters in Documentation

Format: Podcast
In this episode of the Stigma and Substance Use Podcast, we dive into why language in client and patient records matters—and how it can shape care experiences. We explore practical ways to use non-stigmatizing language in health records and discuss the role of electronic health record (EHR) in shaping documentation. Who designs these systems, and how can they be improved? We also examine real-world case scenarios where stigmatizing notes have had lasting impacts on individuals. Whether you’re a provider, policymaker, or advocate, this episode offers insight into making health records more respectful, equitable, and aligned with patient-centered care.

Low-Threshold Access to Care: Initiating MOUD in the Emergency Department and Encouraging Treatment Retention

Format: Webinar
Over 2.5 million adults in the U.S. are diagnosed with OUD. In 2022, 12.7% of ED visits involved opioids. Yet only 25% of those who need treatment receive recommended MOUD. MOUDs are highly effective treatments that have been shown to decrease opioid use, cravings and transmission of infectious disease, and to increase retention in treatment. As the opioid epidemic continues to impact people across the U.S., the ED represents a critical access point to the health care system, supporting people with OUD by initiating MOUD, such as buprenorphine, and connecting them to low-threshold, easy-to-access care for continued treatment.

Bridging the Gap: MOUD Access in Rural Communities

Format: Webinar
Rural communities face unique barriers in accessing effective treatment for opioid use disorder (OUD), including limited provider availability, stigma, and geographic isolation. This webinar will explore how medications for opioid use disorder (MOUD) can be delivered in rural settings through a combination of clinical innovation, community collaboration, and policy advocacy. Participants will explore examples of how integrated clinical services and medical intervention can improve overall treatment outcomes. The presentation will also emphasize the role of addiction professionals in addressing stigma and systemic issues in rural communities. Practical tools, real-world examples, and strategies for engaging rural communities will be shared to help participants advocate for person-centered, recovery-oriented care in their own settings.
