Year 3 of the HOPE Consortium got off to a running start in 2017 and we have not slowed down. It has been exciting to take a moment to recognize all the hard work that we have accomplished together, especially as we gear up to enter data into the HOPE Consortium REDCap system. The recent attendance of Patrick Cork, Administrator, Division of Care and Treatment Services, Wisconsin Department of Health Services, at the March HOPE Consortium Steering Committee Meeting was a great reminder of the importance of the work we are doing and his comments served to re-energize us as we continue to move forward.

HOPE Consortium Partner Recognition
HOPE Consortium members have been working incredibly hard within their organizations to facilitate signatures on HOPE Consortium MOU/BAAs. Each signed partner organization was recognized at the HOPE Consortium Steering Committee meeting on January 27th and received a plaque presented by Gail Chapman, Area Administrator, Northern Region, Wisconsin Department of Health Services. Although not all partners have signed, we continue to work together to ensure the best care possible for individuals with an opioid use disorder that reside in our service area.

REDCap: Training and Go Live
|
|
 |
|
Paper copies of the REDCap user manual are available in addition to interactive video-based training tools available in REDCap itself.
|
|
The HOPE Consortium REDCap database is now live and ready for entry of patient data. All partner organizations with a signed MOU/BAA in place will have access to the database for the purposes of data entry and communication. In-person training on use of the database has been completed for Price County Health & Human Services, HOPE Consortium Care Coordinators, The Human Service Center, FHC Alcohol & Drug Recovery Services, Forest County Potawatomi AODA Services, and Iron County Human Services. HOPE Consortium REDCap user manuals are also available.
Data may be entered by staff of the above organizations for clients who sign a HOPE Consortium Consent and Release of Information. The HOPE Consortium Release of Information is specific to entry of data into the REDCap system and does not replace the need to establish routine releases between service providers. HOPE Consortium consent packets, including forms that must be signed and patient education materials, will be available soon.
Progress on the REDCap system continues to move forward into the reporting phase as Leila Deering, Applications Analyst, Biomedical Informatics Research Center, Marshfield Clinic Research Institute, works with her team of developers to build reporting features. For questions about the REDCap database or to request additional copies of the REDCap User Manual, please contact Leila.

ASAM: Training and Tools Available for Providers
To be eligible for participation in the HOPE Consortium, individuals must have an assessment that results in diagnosis of opioid use disorder. Level of care must then be determined using the American Society of Addiction Medicine (ASAM) placement criteria. Providers may use any tools they wish to accomplish these tasks, as long as the tools adhere to DSM-5 and ASAM standards. The HOPE Consortium Treatment Path Committee has identified tools that providers may find useful, including the SUDDS-5 and TAAD-5 for assessment and the LOCI-3 or ASAM Placement Summary for determining ASAM placement level. In addition, web-based ASAM training is available free of charge to providers of HOPE Consortium partners and their contracted providers. Upon completion of training, all HOPE Consortium providers will receive a hardcover copy of ASAM book at no charge. For more information about how HOPE Consortium providers can access these tools and trainings free of charge, please contact Becky Wagner.

Literature Update: Medication-Assisted Treatment and Opioid Use Disorder Shared Decision-Making Tool
The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) supports shared decision-making as an emerging best practice by creating tools and resources, such as the Decisions in Recovery: Treatment for Opioid Use Disorder Handbook and accompanying Web-Based Tool. First published in December 2016, this handbook provides information to help patients learn about medication-assisted treatment and other treatment options so that they may work with their provider to decide what is best for their personal recovery. The handbook is outlined in such a way that it encourages an individual to consider whether, which, and how medication can support recovery with special consideration of readiness to change, pregnancy, and recovery support.
