Share

The Kentucky Statewide Opioid Stewardship (KYSOS) program is pleased to announce that Harrison Memorial Hospital has joined the Outpatient Primary Care program for hospital-owned primary care clinics. KYSOS utilizes the Six Building Blocks (6BB), team-based approach to improving opioid management in primary care. Created by a physician-led multidisciplinary team from the University of Washington Department of Family Medicine and the Kaiser Permanente Washington Health Research Institute, the program is a “clinic redesign” with goals to consistently treat chronic pain patients on long-term opioid therapy in accordance with evidence-based clinical practice guidelines.

Thank you to Harrison Memorial Hospital for your commitment to safe, consistent, and patient-centered opioid management throughout your primary care clinics. Ongoing recruitment and education on this program are a priority of the KYSOS program. If your facility has interest in learning more about the KYSOS 6BB program and implementing it, contact Shanna Jaggers (sjaggers@kyha.com) or Marilyn Connors (mconnors@kyha.com) for more information.
