Telemedicine for OUD in the Indian Health Service
Telemedicine for OUD in the Indian Health Service
Description
This is the fourth webinar in the telehealth series for the Opioid Response Network (ORN).
Patients who receive care in the IHS system often live in rural areas where economic and transportation challenges can make accessing medications for OUD treatment difficult. Telemedicine can remove many barriers to OUD treatment for Native American/Alaskan patients. Dr. Spencer will discuss how telemedicine for OUD is being used in the Alaskan native medical system and elsewhere. Topics covered will include IHS specific legal concerns, home induction and remote urine drug testing, remote harm reduction services, remote behavioral health support and use of monthly injectable medications.
Funding for this initiative was made possible (in part) by grant no. 6H79TI080816 from SAMHSA. The views expressed in written conference materials or publications and by speakers and moderators do not necessarily reflect the official policies of the Department of Health and Human Services; nor does mention of trade names, commercial practices, or oganizations imply endorsement by the U.S. Government.
(No CME offered for this course.)
