SUMMARY:When It’s Time To Come Down\, Weaning Opioids With Compassion
DESCRIPTION:Presenter: Megan Filoramo\, MSN\, APN-C\, Pain Management NP\, Educator and Nurse Coach\, NJ Pain Consultants/Altair Health \nSponsoring organization: American Society for Pain Management Nursing (ASPMN) \nTarget audience: Nurses\, nurse practitioners\, physicians\, physical therapists\, or psychologists \nAbout the webinar: Compassionate weaning of opioids should include both pharmacological and emotional support. There are options for both slow tapers and abrupt cessation\, and selection should be based on individualized patient needs and on a shared decision-making model. This process should include not only a clear outline of the treatment plan but also alternative treatments for the pain\, appropriate pharmacologic treatment of withdrawal symptoms\, frequent patient re-evaluation and revision of the plan as needed. To adequately support the patient through this process\, it is critical patients understand the weaning does not equate abandonment by their clinical team. Opioid tapering does not need to contribute to patient suffering. \nEducational objectives: \n\nIdentify 3 pharmacologic approaches to weaning opioids.\nDescribe what a shared decision making model looks like in the setting of opioid weaning\nList 3 components of emotional support necessary for patient success with weaning\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister Now

SUMMARY:Mental Health and Addiction Parity: Ensuring Equal Coverage in Medicaid and Marketplace Plans
DESCRIPTION:A Webinar from The Kennedy Forum Featuring U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services Xavier Becerra \nThe COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated an existing mental health and addiction crisis in this country. One that is fueling soaring rates of depression and anxiety\, driving fatal overdoses\, and changing the trajectory of countless young lives. Awareness of this impact is not enough. People need better access to quality\, affordable mental health and addiction care now. \nFortunately\, the Biden Administration has prioritized enforcement of the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act\, which requires health plans in the individual\, small and group markets\, and health insurance issuers to cover mental health and addiction treatment no more restrictively than physical health treatment. In its 2022 report\, the Department of Health and Human Services\, with the Departments of Labor and Treasury identified numerous compliance issues that continue to serve as barriers to accessing needed care. While the Department of Labor enforces parity in employer-sponsored plans\, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) plays a critical role in helping to ensure parity in Medicaid managed care plans\, Alternative Benefit Plans\, Children’s Health Insurance Programs\, ACA marketplace plans\, and self-funded state and local government plans. These types of plans cover tens of millions of Americans\, including a disproportionate number of Black\, Indigenous\, and People of Color (BIPOC) and children. \nJoin The Kennedy Forum’s latest webinar to hear directly from HHS Secretary Xavier Becerra about the department’s new parity efforts. Other esteemed panelists\, including former U.S. Rep. Patrick J. Kennedy\, lead author of the 2008 Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act\, will join in this important conversation about the future of mental health and addiction care. \nFocus Areas to Include \nNew statutory requirements requiring many health plans to conduct detailed parity analyses\nCommon parity violations and how they inhibit access to care\nHow HHS is enforcing parity in collaboration with states\nGenerally accepted standards of care and the impact of new state laws requiring plans to follow for these standards\nGaps in the Parity Act\, including self-funded state and local plan opt outs and the lack of parity requirements in Medicare and traditional Medicaid \n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister here

As an investigator on prospective\, longitudinal studies of youth with bipolar disorder\, adults with personality disorders\, and suicidal adolescents\, Dr. Yen has examined prospective predictors of suicidal behavior. Dr. Yen’s research has also focused on translational work towards developing interventions to reduce suicidal behaviors. She was recently awarded an R01 from the National Institute of Mental Health\, to test the effectiveness of a new intervention she developed\, Skills to Enhance Positivity (STEP)\, in reducing suicidal behaviors in acutely suicidal adolescents. She is currently completing a short-term mixed-method prospective study using daily diary ratings that examines mechanisms of risk for suicidal and self-injurious ideation in sexual and gender minority youth\, and a pilot adaptation of a yoga-based intervention for adolescents with depression. \nTimothy Schmutte\, Psy.D.\, is a clinical psychologist and mental health services researcher with a longstanding interest in older adults and suicide prevention. As an Assistant Professor at the Yale Program for Recovery and Community Health in the Department of Psychiatry at Yale University\, his current research focuses on improving the quality of care provided to patients with high risk for suicide. For his research\, Dr. Schmutte uses national data to examine the service use patterns and outcomes of older adults treated for suicidal thoughts and acts in acute care settings as well as to identify risk and protective factors for suicide shortly following a diagnosis of dementia. He is also currently helping to develop a peer-based intervention to help Veterans with high suicide risk as well as a clinical decision support tool for emergency department physicians in treating patients with high suicide risk. \nCheryl Gagne\, Sc.D.\, is a Senior Associate at C4 Innovations and directs a training program for Massachusetts addiction professionals. She also served as subject matter expert\, trainer\, and technical assistance provider for SAMHSA’s Bringing Recovery Supports to Scale Technical Assistance Center Strategy.

SUMMARY:NIH (virtual) Workshop - Digital Health Interventions from Wellness to Therapeutics: Development and Dissemination
DESCRIPTION:Registration is now open for the NIH Digital Health Interventions Workshop!  \nPlease CLICK HERE for more information regarding the workshop’s agenda\, registration\, speaker bios\, the planning committee\, and who to contact should you have questions. \nDescription:\nThe goal of this workshop is to explore the issues around the design\, development\, and dissemination of digital health interventions. Digital interventions\, accessed via mobile devices or personal computers\, have been a growing part of the healthcare landscape over the last decade. The Covid pandemic has served to underscore the value of remotely delivered interventions. While there are thousands of interventions currently available to the public\, many of them have never been tested for efficacy. However\, the number of validated interventions is growing\, with some now authorized by the FDA and others being utilized by health organizations following rigorous testing. These technologies cover a broad range of therapeutic areas\, including mental health\, metabolic disease\, substance use\, and more. Their potential to promote public health and wellbeing is only beginning to be tapped. As digital health interventions become more ubiquitous and the industry continues to see tremendous growth\, academic investigators have a significant opportunity available to them to create engaging\, effective\, and ultimately the wide adoption of new digital health interventions. This workshop seeks to elucidate the pathways\, requirements\, and capabilities needed to develop and sustain effective digital health interventions. \nThis workshop is sponsored by: \n\nNational Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA)\nNational Cancer Institute (NCI)\nNational Institute on Aging (NIA)\nNational Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA)\nNational Institute on Mental Health (NIMH)\nOffice of Behavioral and Social Sciences Research (OBSSR)
