TriHealth Behavioral Health Integration

Project: Integrating programs for substance-use disorders
Grantee: TriHealth Behavioral Health
Investment: $50,000
Year: 2017

Sparked by a $50,000 bi3 grant, the TriHealth Behavioral Health team is refining and deploying a Substance-Use Disorder Program that will standardize best practices; provide clinical training; and develop screening protocols, medication assisted treatment and discharge planning to ensure a safe handoff to the next level of care. The program is initially focusing on patients facing opioid addiction and aims to help prevent further related admissions through a pilot at Good Samaritan Hospital.
