CHCF and the California Quality Collaborative have created a toolkit (PDF) to guide providers and ambulatory care systems in launching or expanding opioid safety initiatives.

In this webinar, participants heard directly from California medical groups — serving both commercial and safety-net populations — who shared best practices for preventing new starts, reducing opioid dosages, treating opioid use disorder, and stopping overdoses.

Speakers included:

• Kelly Pfeifer, MD, Director of High-Value Care, California Health Care Foundation
• Crystal Eubanks, MS, Senior Manager of Practice Transformation, California Quality Collaborative
• Rachel Mashburn, PharmD, MPH, Senior Manager, Pharmacy Operation, Cedars-Sinai Medical Group
• Susie Foster, FNP, Chief Medical Officer of Hill Country Health and Wellness Center
