Facilitating Opioid Care Connections

OCM RISE will comprise four phases (Exploratory, Preparation, Implementation, and Sustainment). During Exploration, staff will conduct readiness surveys, interviews and system mapping exercises to assess county context. In the Preparation Phase, the needs assessment data will inform county-specific action plans. Guided facilitation during this phase includes court development planning, practice/process improvement strategies, and training on data-driven decision-making to help IACTs operationalize the 10 OCM guidelines, assess performance, and fit the guideline to the local context. In the Implementation Phase, counties will roll out the OCM for 18 months with data feedback, support, and facilitation. Each IACT will receive reports on the performance of its OCM and complete two plan-do-study-act cycles. In the Sustainment Phase, implementation and feedback reports will continue for 6-18 months, but without other external facilitation.
