Golden Window: Learning Best Practices from Overdose Response Teams and Exploring Data Innovation

Description

A growing number of counties across the state and country have launched opioid response teams in recent years in an effort to connect individuals, often post-overdose, to addiction treatment. With the scaling of response teams, adding robust workflow automation and data tracking would further enhance these teams' efficacy and provide a method to compare best practices. MAHEC presents Golden Window: Learning Best Practices from Opioid Response Teams and Exploring Data Innovation, a series of webinars featuring presentations by PORT teams on lessons learned and best practices for opioid response, program implementation, and case management. Goldie Health, an automation and data benchmarking platform, will also share progress on comparing response teams' results & outcomes.
