The National Interoperability Collaborative (NIC) recently published “The Opioid Use Disorder Prevention Playbook” to shine a spotlight on the critical role that prevention should play in addressing the nation’s opioid epidemic, including strategies – or “plays” – that communities can replicate or adapt for real-time use.
The first version of the Playbook describes 11 prevention-focused strategies tested around the country. In discussing those plays, the publication has five primary objectives; the first is to present a clear picture of the state of knowledge on how to better detect and prevent opioid misuse, overuse and use disorders.
