About KYSOS

Working Together to Fight the Opioid Epidemic

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.

Areas of Interest

Inpatient:  The KYSOS program goals are to reduce opioid overprescribing, while improving safe opioid usage when opioids are warranted.

Outpatient: As part of the effort to combat the state’s opioid epidemic, KYSOS offers an opioid stewardship program to provide education and guidance to hospital-owned primary care outpatient clinics.

ED Bridge: The newest initiative within KYSOS is the launch of the Emergency Department (ED) Bridge Program. The main objective of the ED Bridge Program is to ensure patients with opioid use disorder (OUD) receive 24/7 access to care. EDs have an incredible opportunity to make OUD treatment accessible to all.
