Wisconsin Department of Corrections Substance Use Disorder Update & Training - Enduring 2025
Overview
The Wisconsin Department of Corrections Quarterly Healthcare Meeting is an ongoing series that occurs four times a year. In these meetings practitioners (MD/DO/APNP/PA) will be able to discuss evidence-based medical practices and how they relate to care in the Wisconsin DOC. Key features will include one to three medical lectures, updates on pharmacy and therapeutics, updates on EMR implementation and optimization to streamline and standardize care, and an administrative update, one where the Bureau of Health Services stands in many areas today. Additional discussions on quality improvement, efficiencies, and patient-centered care initiatives will occur.
