Completed Projects

FQHC Delivery of MAT Services Via Telehealth

CCHP has received funding from the National Institute for Health Care Management Foundation to conduct research on policy changes that need to be made in order for federally qualified health centers (FQHCs) to utilize telehealth to address the opioid crisis. Policy obstacles FQHCs face in implementing a telehealth MAT program will be chronicled by examining a sampling of states where there are high incidents of OUD and have recently received federal funding to address the crisis.
