GUEST: Sam Wilson Chief Operating Officer, Opio

Sam has spent her career tackling big problems in behavioral healthcare. As the COO of Opio, she's working to support Opioid Treatment Programs (OTPs) through robotic automations and software solutions. Previously, she co-founded Confidant Health, a multi-state behavioral health tech platform focused on value-based care and led the development of ATLAS, the nation’s first quality rating system for addiction treatment programs while working at Shatterproof, a national nonprofit dedicated to reversing the addiction crisis.

The CHIME Opioid Task Force (OTF) was launched in early 2018 with a simple mission: to turn the tide on the opioid epidemic using the knowledge and expertise of the nation’s healthcare IT leaders. While our mission is simple, achieving it is not. Opioid addictin is a complex disease that requires long-term, if not lifetime, care from well-informed clinicians who are supported with easy-to-use and reliable tools.
