The New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) intends to issue an RFP for the Substance Use Nurse Care Manager Model program. In order to address barriers to buprenorphine treatment, reduce inequities in treatment access, and improve care for people with opioid use disorder, DOHMH implemented the New York City Buprenorphine Nurse Care Manager Initiative in 2016. The initiative was based on a nationally recognized and replicated collaborative care model—known as the “Massachusetts Model”—that utilizes a nurse care manager to ensure delivery of high-quality, office-based opioid use disorder treatment while effectively and efficiently utilizing the time of health care providers who provide buprenorphine treatment. This approach increases patient engagement and retention in treatment, supports the management of comorbid medical conditions, and ensures successful connections to additional specialty medical services and behavioral health services. Recognizing expansion and replication of this initiative as key to increasing access to treatment for substance use disorders (SUDs), DOHMH proposes to expand upon this service delivery model to include additional services that implement or expand this model in primary care safety net settings. In addition to providing buprenorphine treatment, awarded organizations will use this team-based, collaborative care model to provide connections to or direct provision of medication treatment for alcohol use disorder, medications for tobacco use disorder, HCV and HIV testing and care, PrEP/PEP, and substance use-related wound care.
