Topics will include:
• The fundamentals of person-centered care
• The differences between organizational and clinical level person-centered care
• The rationale for shifting to a person-centered approach to care
• Discussion of person-centered care as an evidence-based practice
• Integrating person-centered care with the OTP setting

OASAS is pleased to be partnering with the Center on Addiction to provide this informative one-day session. Agenda The morning session will focus on reviewing and discussing the fundamentals of person-centered care. This will include an overview of person-centered care within the OTP system on an organizational and clinical level.
