Item Assessment of Filled Buprenorphine Prescriptions for Opioid Use Disorder During the Coronavirus Disease 2019 Pandemic(AMA, 2020-12) Nguyen, Thuy D.; Gupta, Sumedha; Ziedan, Engy; Simon, Kosali I.; Alexander, Caleb; Saloner, Brendan; Stein, Bradley D.; Economics, School of Liberal ArtsThe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has profoundly disrupted health care delivery in the US.1 The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention noted a 9.1% increase in reported 12-month counts of drug overdose deaths from March 2019 to March 2020, from 67 726 to 73 860.2 On March 13, 2020, a COVID-19 national emergency was declared. To diminish potential barriers to treatment access, 3 days later, federal guidelines on telemedicine use were released, providing authorized practitioners increased flexibility to prescribe buprenorphine to patients with opioid use disorder (OUD) during this public health emergency.3 Other local, state, and federal policy initiatives have also attempted to preserve access to medication treatment for OUD, yet the cumulative outcome of these undertakings is not clear.Item Hospitalists and the Decline of Comprehensive Care(2016-09) Gunderman, Richard; Department of Radiology and Imaging Sciences, IU School of MedicineItem Integration of Oral Health with Primary Care in Health Centers: Profiles of Five Innovative Models(2015) Maxey, Hannah L.Health centers are leading the way in integrating oral health with primary care. Much can be learned by exploring the models that health centers have developed and adopted to achieve integration. This Monograph, supported by the DentaQuest Foundation and authored by Hannah L. Maxey, PhD, MPH, RDH, Assistant Professor and Director of Health Workforce Studies, Department of Family Medicine, Indiana University School of Medicine, presents information on five health centers that have successfully integrated oral health with primary care. It has been developed for the purpose of organizing and presenting information on successful models which may be useful to health centers and other organizations considering the implementation of similar initiatives. Each health center’s model is summarized within the framework of the five domains of the Integration of Oral Health and Primary Care Practice initiative (IOHPCP), and full information on each of the models, such as the role of all care team members, is found within the profile for each health center.
