A major milestone this year: the School of Pharmacy launched the #Wisconsin Opioid Overdose Response Center, boosting #naloxone access, #pharmacist training, and harm-reduction tools statewide. A powerful example of the #WisconsinIdea in action! https://bit.ly/3XCZZp7

Truly honored to collaborate with colleagues @sjbeckerphd.bsky.social, Andrew Quanbeck, Joe Glass, Hannah Knudsen, Heather Gotham, Mat Roosa, Emily Williams on this opinion piece honoring the research legacy of our friend and colleague - Bryan R Garner. www.frontiersin.org/journals/hea...

Proud to share our three part podcast on Opioids: Research to Practice through Connect the Dots sponsored by Wisconsin Connect. Click below to sign up for free to learn about the role of the community pharmacist in addressing the opioid epidemic. www.wisconsinconnect.org/ctdtwo.html

Looking forward to the 2025 European Implementation Event #EIE2025 and sharing work on the use of #SIC and #COINS in an adaptive implementation trial.

Appreciate @uwchancellor.bsky.social traveling to Milwaukee to learn more about the Wisconsin Opioid Overdose Response Center at the @uwmadpharmacy.bsky.social and the work being done through this one of a kind center focused on the role of the community pharmacy in addressing the opioid epidemic.

In Milwaukee today with @uwmadpharmacy.bsky.social & Hayat Pharmacy, learning more about a @uwmadison.bsky.social initiative that equips pharmacies with tools to prevent opioid overdoses — like test strips, naloxone & more. Truly LIFESAVING work!

Poster on the use of Stages of Implementation Completion shared at the Academy Health #DIScience24 Conference in a statewide adaptive trial. Great collaboration with colleagues at Stanford and Chestnut Health to explore this important issue in #ImpSci.

Strong endorse!! Loved the speakers’ candor about when #ImpSci trials go off the rails (which they do and they will) and how to get them back on track (and how to prevent that by piloting more than you think and having contingency plans and trial modification rules up front)

UW Madison School of Pharmacy faculty, staff, & graduate students have approximately 10 presentations and posters at the Academy Health #DIScience24 Conference! Look for our sessions on complex implementation strategies, OTC meds for older adults, a nationally recognized COPD EBP and FRAM modeling.

SAMHSA funding supported the launch of the Wisconsin Opioid Overdose Response Center (WOORC) and Pharmacy Resource Network to support a sustainable community pharmacy network that deploys evidence-based interventions to reduce the number of opioid overdoses in Wisconsin. #pharmacy #opioid #impsci

Our publication rdcu.be/dtsjt in #ImpScienceComm used coach notes from a NH #impstudy to explore planned versus actual changes related to staff and provider engagement, distribution of tools, and actual tool use.

Following up for #HiSciSky and #addictionsci

New to bsky.app so looking to connect with others who are interested in dissemination, implementation and sustainability research in behavioral health and long-term care with a focus on the implementation of interventions to adopt evidence based practices or increase access to medications.
