Webinar abstract/description
The Surgeon General’s guidance on naloxone distribution advocates an “all hands on deck” approach to reduce the overdose fatality rate. Emergency departments can learn how to build a simple, efficient, and effective model of dispensing naloxone from the ground up in this free, archived 1-hour webinar with multiple guest speakers in collaboration with National Harm Reduction Coalition.
By the end of this webinar, participants will understand:
- Why emergency departments should be dispensing naloxone to high-risk patients;
- How to distribute low-barrier naloxone in emergency department settings;
- How to create a standard operating procedure and policies supporting naloxone distribution in the ED;
- How to apply for a block grant for free naloxone dispensing;
- And how to enlist your entire workforce in the life-saving work of distributing low-barrier naloxone to high-risk patients.
