July 31st, 2024 By Brittany Webster
A new Opioid Addiction Deterrence Task Force has been launched in Washington, D.C. by the American Medical Technology Coalition (AMTC).
"The task force is really pulling together everyone involved from pain management to prescribing opioids to tracking opioid use, but really leveraging technologies that exist and providing data back to clinicians," said Custom Health's CEO and Executive Director of AMTC Shane Bishop.
The primary objectives set out for the task force are innovative technology solutions, policy advocacy, research and education, and community engagement.
Being Kelowna based, Bishop knows the opioid crisis isn't just a U.S. problem.
