Best Practices: The Nurse Care Manager Model of Office-Based Addiction Treatment
This training is designed to provide a history of the nurse care manager (NCM) model of office-based addiction treatment, explain how the model increases treatment access, and identify the roles of the nurse manager and interprofessional care team members that sustain the model. Participants will recognize the NCM as an advocate and a source of evidence-based treatment for teams and community partners. Participants will also develop an understanding of workflows to sustain the daily operations of the NCM model.
Learning Objectives:
- Recall 2-3 characteristics of the NCM that are central in providing comprehensive care.
- Explain how the NCM increases access to care by acting as the hub of the treatment team.
- Name 3 ways in which the NCM can decrease barriers to care.
- Identify the role of the NCM in advocating for persons with substance use disorder (SUD) and disseminating evidence-based treatment to team members.
- Develop basic understanding of workflows to optimize efficiency and support sustainability of the model
