Implementation Support for MOUD (ISM)
What is the ISM Team Training?
Implementation Support for MOUD (ISM) will help your practice increase access to MOUD for your patients and build the confidence of providers to successfully support patients eligible for MOUD in primary care.
What Will Your Team Receive?
Practices will receive support from a practice facilitator for 9 - 12 months. Practice support may flex over time in intensity, depending on the needs of the practice. For example, there may be multiple visits a month for the first three months as implementation begins, and then that backs off to once a month for maintenance. Practices will have check in’s with David Mendez, MD, an addiction trained subject matter expert, to receive help and support. The ISM project team will also provide support as needed.
Practices will receive compensation by completing milestones that expand MOUD services at their site. Practices will also receive implementation support from our addiction medicine physician expert and trained practice facilitators.
What are the requirements?
Practices will be given milestones to meet throughout the project and will be assessed on these milestones at baseline and periodically through the project. Data will also be collected through the practice facilitator that is working with the practice and through surveys completed by the practice.
When will the training begin?
The current cohort has already started. Please reach out to allyson.gottsman@cuanschutz.edu to learn more about upcoming cohorts.
What is the IT MATTTRs team training?
The ITMATTTRs2 Practice Team Training will help you identify and assess patients who are appropriate for MOUD, apply knowledge of buprenorphine to manage patients with OUD, help you build a clinical team that has knowledge, skills, and resources to treat OUD. For practices that have a MOUD certified prescriber, the practice team training will equip all staff members with the expertise and tools to support a successful MOUD program within a clinic.
