Symposium III.
- Abstract
This article, titled "Symposium III: Innovations in Telehealth for Opioid Use Disorder Treatment: Enhancing Access and Quality," discusses the impact of telehealth on the treatment of opioid use disorder (OUD). The authors highlight the effects of COVID-19 on telehealth and in-person OUD treatment, as well as the evidence supporting telehealth compared to in-person care. They present different models of telehealth and clinical considerations, emphasizing the need for tailoring treatment to individual patients. The article also showcases innovative approaches to telemedicine, such as mobile treatment units and collaborations with rural detention centers. The authors discuss the Ophelia platform, which utilizes remote toxicology testing and a tailored electronic health record, and the Respectful, Equitable, Accessible, and Compassionate Healthcare (REACH) model of low-threshold OUD care. Overall, the article concludes that telehealth has emerged as a pivotal tool for OUD treatment, improving retention, reducing overdose risk, and expanding access to underserved populations.
