New AHRQ Toolkit for Improving Opioid Management in Primary Care

A new AHRQ toolkit, Six Building Blocks A Team-Based Approach to Improving Opioid Management in Primary Care, aims to help primary care organizations take a team- and system-based approach to improving opioid management. The toolkit, Six Building Blocks, recommends that organizations demonstrate leadership support and develop consensus; revise and implement policies, patient agreements, and workflows; proactively track and monitor patient care; implement planned, patient-centered visits; develop resources to care for complex patients; and measure implementation success.
