Licensure Policy Can Promote Effective Opioid Treatment
In the May issue of Health Affairs, Alene Kennedy-Hendricks and colleagues at Johns Hopkins University examine providers’ perspectives on the incorporation of medications for opioid use disorder ([link removed] ) (MOUD) requirements in treatment program licensure standards.
After conducting a series of interviews with policy officials and providers, the researchers identify four key themes:
- Interviewees viewed incorporating MOUD into state licensure requirements as a decision grounded in medical evidence.
- Raising quality standards by requiring MOUD was viewed by some policy officials as in tension with maintaining an adequate provider supply.
- Aligning state policies and programmatic support with MOUD access goals facilitated implementation of the licensure requirement.
- Measuring compliance was challenging.
