Opioid Stewardship

Opioid Stewardship and Resources

OHA leverages clinical expertise and data from a variety of sources to provide training and best practices for Ohio hospitals regarding opioid stewardship.

OHA’s Board of Trustees in 2017 added opioid response to OHA’s statewide clinical initiatives in response to the state and national impact of opioid addictions. Ohio hospitals are on the forefront of collaborations focusing on medication safety, partnering with community resources and promoting best practices for opioid stewardship.
