MEDICATION ASSISTED TREATMENT ECHO

This interactive web-based program provides essential guidelines and steps to implementing and integrating a successful MAT program into an outpatient primary care setting. The MAT program aims to improve access for patients suffering from opioid use disorder.

  • Diagnosing Opioid Use Disorder
  • Types of medications (naltrexone vs. buprenorphine) and requirements for each (labs, monitoring, etc.)
  • Buprenorphine induction maintenance, relapse and tapering protocols
  • Referral process, clinic flow
  • Opiate withdrawal-treatment
  • Drug screens
  • Controlled substance agreement
  • Multi-party consents
  • Prior authorization requirements for buprenorphine (documentation, barriers, etc.)
  • Clinic and community integration

Purpose

The purpose is to inform clinic members (admin, providers, nursing, etc.) on how to successfully integrate a MAT program into an outpatient primary care setting. The mission is to help centers and clinics set up primary care based MAT to improve access for patients suffering from opioid use disorder across the state of Iowa. 

Professional Practice Gap

There is a lack of resources, expertise and time for learning the integration of MAT within a primary care setting. By providing access to example protocols, clinic flow and other measures to improve integration, this will decrease the burden of the work required to start a program.

Learning Objectives

  • Provide essential guidelines and steps to implement a successful MAT program into primary care setting.
  • Improve access for patients suffering from opioid use disorder.
  • Provide guidance on MAT for patients with a history of Alcohol Use Disorder.
