Improving Clinical Practice with Patients who have Opioid Use Disorder: Performance-in-Practice Activity

We have exciting news! PCSS clinical experts have created a new Performance-in-Practice (PIP) activity that will help you identify and address gaps in your practice treating patients with opioid use disorder (OUD).

You will say "I did the PIP." Together, we can make a difference!
This activity will assist physicians, physician assistants, nurses and nurse practitioners to determine individual practice gaps and address them through a performance improvement plan designed to improve competence, performance, and patient outcomes.

Sponsoring Organization:  American Academy of Addiction Psychiatry

Cost: No Fee
