Facilitated by SIU Medicine's multidisciplinary team including an addiction specialist, clinical psychologists, psychiatrist, social worker, and a Data-2000 waivered clinician working in a federally qualified health center (FQHC), this ECHO is designed to increase the number of providers with a Data-2000 waiver, also known as Buprenorphine Waiver Program or x-waiver, in Illinois counties that have few or no medication-assisted treatment services. This series also engages clinicians who have received Data-2000 waivers but are not using it to treat patients by mitigating perceived barriers. Clinician participants are strongly encouraged to identify local behavioral health partners to participate in the Opioid ECHO with them.
