June 24 Roundtable: OUD Referrals: Extending the Opioid Harm Prevention Peer Forum Series | Register Here

Join WSHA Clinical Excellence for a follow-up roundtable on Wednesday, June 24, from 2:00–3:30 PM, focused on advancing discussions on opioid use disorder (OUD) referral/community pathways and the State Directed Payment Program (SDPP): Follow-up after ED Visit for Substance Use Disorder (FUA) measure.

Hospital teams across Washington are doing critical work to connect patients with OUD to treatment and recovery support, but many face persistent challenges once patients leave the hospital or emergency department.

As part of WSHA’s 2026 Opioid Harm Prevention Quarterly Peer Forum Series, this roundtable builds on the June 15 session, Quarter 2: OUD Referrals & Community Resource Pathways, which highlights real examples of hospital–community partnerships across the state. In response to member feedback requesting more time for peer exchange, this session is designed to provide deeper, member-driven discussion, including aims in support of the (SDPP) FUA measure.

Why attend this roundtable?

Engage directly with hospital peers navigating similar OUD referral and follow-up challenges
Discuss strengths and barriers hospitals experience after patients leave inpatient or emergency settings
Share practical lessons learned from community partnerships, including virtual care options
Explore strategies to strengthen performance on the State Directed Payment Program (SDPP) Follow-up after ED Visit for Substance Use Disorder (FUA) measure by improving timely follow-up connections to care
Help WSHA better understand where hospitals need additional tools, guidance, convening, or advocacy

How this supports the Peer Forum Series

This roundtable complements the Opioid Harm Prevention Quarterly Peer Forum Series by:

Deepening discussion on priority topics identified by hospital leaders
Supporting peer-to-peer learning beyond presentation-based sessions
Informing future forums, resources, and statewide improvement efforts

Who should attend?

We encourage participation from clinical leaders, ED teams, care coordination, social work, pharmacy, quality and behavioral health staff involved in OUD screening, treatment initiation, referrals and follow-up care.

Your voice matters

Participation in this roundtable will directly inform how WSHA tailors future peer forums and supports hospitals in strengthening community resource pathways and continuity of care.
