This Substance Use Disorder (SUD) Treatment and Access Policy and Procedure Toolkit for Nursing Homes and Adult Care Facilities is intended to provide easy-to-adapt policies and procedures for facilities that wish to implement or improve their care for residents with SUD, which includes access to behavioral health resources, medications, telehealth, and referral networks. Most of the policies deal with opioid use disorder treatment, as this was the overarching need identified by nursing homes and adult care facilities; however, this toolkit was designed to be modified, and future updates will include additional substance use disorder policies.
Transfer Tracking Form and Guide
The Transfer Tracking Form was developed to provide facilities with a tool to track both their acute care and emergency department transfers over time. It maintains an active list of all transfers and any related aspects of each transfer in real time. (See instructions below on how to download the tracking form resources.)
Complete this form to receive a link to download a zipped folder of the Transfer Tracking Resources to include the Excel tracking form as well as a PDF instructional guide that explains the use of the tool.
