Background

This Objective addresses a few different things:
  1. Fragmentation with regard to the many different groups working to address the opioid crisis. In any mid-to-large metro area or state, there are likely many different opioid-related groups that are not well aligned or coordinated. A community will be more effective if the many different groups can work together. In some cases, they may have most of the right people and organizations together at the table, but they still may not be working as a team.
  2. This would include multi-sector teamwork, such as social services, law enforcement, public health, treatment programs, etc. (like you share below.)
  3. This would also include coordinated continuum of care including integrating addiction treatment into primary care, and community care coordination using tools like XCare Community or The Good Grid.
  4. Availability of supportive social services (especially re-integration after incarceration)
  5. Other community connections to support the success of people dealing with substance misuse (like job programs, faith communities, etc.)

Key Opportunities to Improve Care Coordination

Develop and/or increase the use of an on-line shared directory of available resources

 

Expand the development and use of centrally managed personal success pathways

 

Assign and connect care teams to work together

 

Improve and appropriately share comprehensive assessments

Principles for Building Better Relationships
The Police Executive Research forum reports 5 principles for building better partnerships between law enforcement agencies, public health organizations, treatment providers, and other stakeholders from their April 2016 meeting. The five principles are:

  1. Find common ground and work toward shared goals.
  2. Respect and Learn from one another's positions and perspectives
  3. Involve people from all levels within an organization
  4. Be open to expanding your perspective and accepting new roles.
  5. Maintain a community focus.[1]

 


 

Deloitte Center for Health Solutions (DCHS)

The Deloitte Center for Health Solutions, part of Deloitte LPP's Life Sciences and Health Care practice, is a source for fresh perspectives in health care. It looks deeper at the biggest industry issues and provides new thinking around complex challenges. Cutting-edge research and thought-provoking analysis give their clients the insights they need to see things differently, and address the changing landscape.[7] DCHS developed a report called, "Strategies for stemming the opioid crisis" that describes how data analytics can help health plans and pharmacy benefit managers chart their course. To learn more about the DCHS and their research, visit [5].
  According to their major findings, potential strategies for health plans and pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs) include:[8]
 
  • Leveraging data and emerging technologies
  • Working toward more streamlined data collection and sharing
  • Supporting the development of evidence-based standards and quality metrics to define and encourage successful treatment
  • Advocating for policy changes at the federal level


This complex, multifaceted problem calls for systematic solutions across the healthcare system.[9] Read more about strategies for stemming the opioid crisis.
