In this podcast, Dr. Jessee and Trish Tanner share why taking an active role against the opioid crisis is important to them. They go on to talk about the work of the task force in their community; how it is providing treatment, counseling and other resources to those in need; and they offer advice to other communities who may want to start a similar initiative.

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.
