Unhooked

Tackling Opioid Addiction and Behavioral Health Conditions Through a Population Health Model

Beschreibung

The Path to Overcoming the Opioid Addiction Crisis For over twenty years, America's opioid addiction crisis has been spiraling out of control-and the COVID-19 pandemic just made matters worse. Even though billions of dollars are spent annually on substance use disorder (SUD) treatment, the patient numbers keep climbing-because of a misguided focus on episodic health emergencies rather than long-term care that's proven to be much more effective and cost-efficient. Clearly, it's time for a radically new approach, and in Unhooked, healthcare experts Chris Powell and Dr. Jill Warrington deliver just that. Their new revolutionary holistic care strategy is built around a multipronged policy that: - removes the stigma of opioid addiction by treating it as a chronic illness, not human weakness; - leverages data and analytics to provide more comprehensive individual care; - removes common barriers to recovery; - reduces the cost of care; - creates equity for SUD and behavioral health management; and - identifies prevention strategies that can block disease progression. Most importantly, Powell and Warrington outline a practical step-by-step strategy to inspire and implement change in your organization. If society is truly to become unhooked, this book provides a proven path to wellness that can get the job done.

CHRIS POWELL grew up in an alcoholic household, where he experienced the trials and traumas of addiction firsthand. As an adult, he spent his career at the crossroads of healthcare and innovation. He has served as vice president and general manager of GE Healthcare, overseeing the company's efforts in Canada and Central and South America. Chris then served as CEO of Precyse, a health information management and services company that covered medical coding, healthcare education, and a service-enabled technology platform to improve coding and workflow. Becoming CEO at Aspenti Health, Chris recognized the criticality of the work in the field and rallied investors to support a new vision: the application of a population health strategy to the treatment of substance use disorders (SUD). Leveraging a preexisting randomization platform used to support specimen collections and testing, Chris's team created a novel digital service replete with a diagnostic module that supports test ordering and resulting, ICD-10 coding, community event engagement, and protocol management. He also promoted digital educational content development distributed across partner networks and a new population-health analytics program. This vision propelled the company to a new level and provided a powerful and effective service to providers in the region.
