During this panel, we will explore disparities, quality measurement, ethical issues, and educational interventions to improve care for persons with OUD/SUD who receive care in NHs. Specifically, this session will assemble evidence on the following topics: an overview of disparity in OUD/SUD care delivery; ethical issues related to patient acceptance and treatment; methodological issues related to quality measurement; and implementation of curricula for enhanced care competency. Throughout the session, we will generate case-based discussions that illustrate common issues experienced by administrators and staff when transitioning to and providing care within post-acute and long-term care settings. Attendees will learn the principles and techniques to provide high-quality OUD/SUD care.

Define the key areas of disparity in opioid and substance use disorder (OUD/SUD) care delivery.
Explain the core ethical principles related to the care delivery for older adults with OUD/SUD.
