SUMMARY:A Pharmacy-Based Approach to Caring for Individuals with Opioid-Use Disorder
DESCRIPTION:Watch Presentation \nView Slides \nDeaths from drug overdoses rose sharply during the COVID-19 pandemic\, underscoring the need for a more proactive approach to treat individuals with opioid use disorder. Medication-assisted treatment (MAT) combined with compassionate\, stigma-free care is an approach that can make a difference. Unfortunately many of those who are prescribed treatment often encounter barriers\, such as travel\, inconvenient hours\, time-consuming paperwork and bureaucracy\, stigma and more. \nA recent study from researchers at Brown University\, Rhode Island Hospital and the University of Rhode Island enabled pharmacists trained in the foundations of addiction treatment to be a convenient and community-based location for patients to access care and medication. \n  \nPlease join the IPRO QIN-QIO on March 2 to learn more about this pharmacy-based approach from Dr. Jeffrey Bratberg\, a study author and clinical professor of pharmacy practice at the University of Rhode Island College of Pharmacy. \n0106-9999-23-014-L08-P\n(1 contact hour; 0.1 CEU-Knowledge-based) \nUpon participation in this session\, attendees will: \n1. Recognize the urgent need for barrier-free medication assisted treatment for opioid use disorder\,\n2. Explain the key elements of a of pharmacy-based buprenorphine induction\, and\n3. Describe the benefits of expanding access. \nJEFFREY BRATBERG\, Pharm.D.\, FAPhA\nClinical Professor of Pharmacy Practice\nUniversity of Rhode Island\nCollege of Pharmacy
