CareWestbrook in Maine aims to boost admissions by streamlining the phone screening process. We'll eliminate unnecessary items not required by regulations, convert open-ended questions to a simple Yes/No format, and market the new "quick and easy" form to counselors to encourage participation. The modified form will also gather essential Suboxone data while enhancing usability and has been adopted as a new Standard Operating Procedure. This initiative will maintain improvements in admission rates and increase the Intake Coordinator’s availability for other essential tasks, reinforcing staff competency and fostering a collaborative team approach to patient care.
