Provider resources
As Michigan legislation has changed how opioids are prescribed, Spectrum Health has worked to educate clinical teams on these changes and provide you with tools to educate patients. Below you will find resources to help you have conversations about the prescribing laws, the start talking form, tapering and the GREAT MOMs program. Additionally, the Primary Health Substance Use Disorder Prescribing Toolkit and the GREAT MOMs Program Prescribing Toolkit are also available below.
For your convenience, document numbers are present on the bottom of each document for ease in ordering from document services through Spectrum Health.
