Technical assistance for clinics to address unhealthy alcohol and opioid use due to COVID-19
As people practice physical distancing recommendations during the COVID-19 pandemic, there is growing concern about a rise in unhealthy alcohol and drug use. The need for continued efforts to support SBIRT and behavioral health integration are clear.
The OHA Transformation Center is partnering with the Oregon Rural Practice-based Research Network (ORPRN) to offer clinics and CCOs technical assistance related to SBIRT:
- ANTECEDENT provides primary care clinics 12 months of tailored support to implement changes to address unhealthy alcohol use.
- PINPOINT provides technical assistance regarding chronic pain management and opioid prescribing.
Clinics and CCOs across Oregon are invited to participate to prepare for any ramifications COVID-19 may have on SBIRT workflows for alcohol use and opioid management.
Learn more about these free technical assistance opportunities for clinics and coordinated care organizations. |
