Gettysburg Pa, June 25, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The faces of the hidden impacts of the opioid crisis, their untold stories, and lack of representation beg the questions, “How can the providers who have sought to represent these underserved populations best support them? Do the tools and workflows at their disposal enable or hinder their care delivery? How can provider organizations operationalize support for these populations?”
On Wednesday, June 26 at 1 p.m. ET, Jennifer Hancock, President and CEO of Volunteers of America of Mid-States; Chris Hassan, President and CEO of Symetria Health; Chuck Klein, Director of Medication Management at Netsmart; and Billie Whitehurst, General Manager of Homecare at Netsmart will participate in a web briefing hosted by OPEN MINDS, and sponsored by Netsmart. Moderated by Netsmart’s Chief Nursing Officer, Mary Gannon, the speakers will discuss the impacts of the opioid crisis on several human services and post-acute communities, in the presentation titled Hidden Impacts: The Opioid Crisis & Its Toll On Adults, Children & Families, Pain Management, & Palliative Care.
Attendees will also learn about the tools and workflows that enable service delivery in these areas and explore case studies from provider organizations currently navigating these scenarios. Key takeaways include: learning ways human services and post-acute organizations are addressing opioid use head-on; discovering real-life examples of the hidden impacts of the opioid crisis from human services and post-acute experts; understanding how to leverage technology to assist individuals with opioid addiction or to identify those who may be at risk; and determining the best way to utilize technology to ensure guidelines are followed.
