Description

As part of the twice-monthly SUD Care Continuum ECHO® series, Roger Weiss, MD, will develop interdisciplinary approaches to shared decision-making and care coordination when patients consider tapering or discontinuing medications for opioid use disorder (MOUD), and describe current evidence, risks, and clinical considerations related to continuing, tapering, or discontinuing MOUD. He will also apply patient-centered, evidence-informed strategies to support patients who choose to taper or discontinue MOUD, including risk mitigation and ongoing follow-up. The didactic will be followed by a de-identified patient case presentation from an ECHO® participant and recommendations from the panel of experts and attendees.
