HAP Opioid LAN Northwest Regional Virtual Meeting

Location: Online

Registration Deadline: March 27, 2020

Overview

This meeting has been changed to a virtual meeting instead of an in-person meeting out of consideration for our speakers and attendees and to adhere to safe practices. We will be utilizing Zoom for this virtual meeting, so please find the registration link below that will grant you access to this meeting.

Register for the Meeting

You are invited to the HAP Opioid LAN northwest regional networking meeting. The three major areas of focus that will be addressed at this meeting include: screening of OUD patients in the ED; harm reduction strategies; and Medication for Addiction Treatment (MAT) warm hand-off best practices. We encourage you to come prepared with your relevant tools and processes in hand and to share your organization’s work related to OUD patient care. Additionally, we will look to have relevant discussions of your organizations’ responses to COVID-19 as it relates to your care of patients with OUD. Attendees will have the opportunity to learn from one another, discuss best practices.

We want to keep you safe, support your COVID-19 response efforts and not pull you away from your focus on the health and safety of the Commonwealth so we will be recording this meeting. The recording will be available on the HAP Opioid Learning Action Network website within two weeks of the meeting.
