SUD 101 Course 5: Management of Opioid Use Disorder in Clinical Care-Facilitation Guide

Pdf Summary

This facilitation guide supports learners of the PCSS-MOUD “Management of OUD in Clinical Care” course in leading interprofessional team discussions that translate course learning into practice change. It emphasizes that teams and settings vary, so facilitators should tailor questions and format to their audience (colleagues, leaders, or students) and use the guide to spark dialogue rather than deliver a lecture.<br /><br />The guide offers strategies based on whether others completed the course. If colleagues did not participate, the facilitator should share 2–3 key takeaways, ask discussion questions focused on workflow application, and encourage independent course completion. If the team did participate, the session should skip recap and quickly focus on implementation: identifying needed improvements, patient barriers to OUD care, and creating at least one shared commitment to change with an accountability plan. For students, recommended adaptations include emphasizing professional roles across settings, using structured reflection prompts about role perception, and making the session experiential through breakout groups, role-play, and brief journaling.<br /><br />Discussion purpose and goals center on improving identification, treatment, and management of OUD across care settings (primary care, emergency, inpatient), applying Standard Medical Management, initiating and maintaining MOUD, clarifying interprofessional roles, and strengthening continuity and transitions of care. A suggested agenda includes welcome/framing, reflection on key takeaways linked to local challenges, planning how to create change, and commitments to action, with optional follow-up sessions for case-based application and workflow redesign.<br /><br />Three worksheets provide sample facilitator questions, a template for case discussions (risks, next steps, team roles, system barriers), and a role-mapping/improvement plan to identify gaps, duplications, and screening tools. The guide also proposes evaluation methods: pre/post surveys on confidence and role clarity, open-ended reflections, and outcome metrics such as screening rates, MOUD uptake, and patient follow-through on recommended treatment.
