As you may know, last
September, Fast-Tracker for Substance Use Disorder (SUD) http://www.fast-trackermn.org/, Minnesota’s first
searchable online tool to facilitate quicker access to SUD treatment
became “live”. Now individuals, family members, detox staff, assessors,
physicians, primary care clinics, treatment staff, and others, can search this
site to find real-time availability of statewide substance use disorder
services - a critical element of a modern SUD system of care. The website
can help people find YOUR program and assist YOUR staff in
finding resources for individuals they are working with.
Please view e-Memo #18-88 to view the update.
DHS has launched a new webpage: Working Together to End the Opioid
Epidemic. There you will find information about what DHS is doing to
increase awareness, decrease the number of persons who develop opioid use
disorder and reduce the harms resulting from opioid addiction.
Illness Management and Recovery, or IMR, is a step-by-step program that helps people to:
- Set meaningful goals for themselves
- Acquire information and skills to develop a greater sense of mastery over their psychiatric illness
- Maintain focus on and make progress towards their own personal goals and recovery
For more information and to register visit the Minnesota Center for Chemical and Mental Health website.
- That the originating site is the site where the patient is receiving telemedicine, and the licensed health care provider is at a distant site.
- That SUD reform efforts support the efforts of the Institute for Healthcare Improvement (IHI)
Triple Aim. The IHI Triple Aim is a
framework developed by the Institute for Healthcare Improvement that describes
an approach to optimizing health system performance.
Question 1: Are credentials needed to provide substance use disorder services
affected when the service is delivered via telemedicine?
Question 2: What are the three dimensions of the Institute
for Healthcare Improvement (IHI) Triple Aim?
Tune in next week for these answers and more with Did You Know!
