The Kentucky Hospital Association is partnering with the Cabinet for Health and Family Services as part of the Kentucky Opioid Response Effort (KORE) to launch the Kentucky Statewide Opioid Stewardship program. This initiative will focus on reducing opioid overprescribing, improving safe opioid use, and will provide a mechanism for hospitals to demonstrate their actions and commitments to their patients and communities to combat the state’s opioid epidemic. In addition, this project will provide a voluntary certification opportunity for Kentucky hospitals at the appropriate level for their hospital.
