Ed Kopetsky, Co-chair of the CHIME Opioid Task Force, describes his personal family experience with opioid addiction, the stigma surrounding the disease of Opioid Use Disorder (OUD), and the lack of care and treatment options for individuals with addiction and mental health issues.
HOST: Janet Desroche, Associate VP, MEDITECH
GUEST: Edward Kopetsky
Co-chair, CHIME Opioid Task Force
CIO Consultant
Former CIO, Stanford Children's Hospital
The CHIME Opioid Task Force (OTF) was launched in early 2018 with a simple mission: to turn the tide on the opioid epidemic using the knowledge and expertise of the nation’s healthcare IT leaders. While our mission is simple, achieving it is not. Opioid addiction is a complex disease that requires long-term, if not lifetime, care from well-informed clinicians who are supported with easy-to-use and reliable tools.
