FACILITATE BUY-IN WITHIN YOUR ORGANIZATION
A crucial step in implementing any new intervention is facilitating buy-in and creating a shared vision within the organization. The Rapid Procedure is more involved than usual detoxification procedures and staff will be tasked with intensive training and additional work responsibilities. It’s important for leadership to understand those demands upfront and consider what changes may be needed to support the clinical staff in implementing this new intervention. There are many ways to facilitate buy-in across staff within your organization. A few examples are listed here:
- Develop strong advocacy among leadership and your clinical team.
- Create a unified vision for the Rapid Procedure with respect to the organization’s overall mission and quality improvement efforts.
- Ensure that staff understand the evidence supporting the Rapid Procedure for Vivitrol® induction and benefits to patients with opioid use disorder.
TIP: Regular luncheons when discussing these clinical practice changes can’t hurt!
