Abstract
Abstract: Opioid use disorder remains an epidemic in the United States. Buprenorphine is a Food and Drug Administration-approved medication for opioid use disorder that is associated with decreased opioid-related mortality and morbidity. Until recently, providers had to have a specialized wavier, a Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) X, to prescribe buprenorphine for opioid use disorder. The 2023 Consolidated Appropriations Act, signed into law by President Biden, removed X waiver requirements and implements new training requirements for all new and renewing DEA registrants. This brief report outlines the history of buprenorphine prescribing regulation, reviews the recent regulatory changes and their implications for nurse practitioner buprenorphine prescribing, and concludes by considering the importance of promoting buprenorphine access.
摘要：阿片类药物使用障碍在美国仍是一种流行病。丁丙诺啡是美国食品和药物管理局批准的一种治疗阿片类药物使用障碍的药物，可降低与阿片类药物相关的死亡率和发病率。直到最近，医疗服务提供者还必须获得专门的豁免，即缉毒署（DEA）X，才能开具丁丙诺啡治疗阿片类药物使用障碍。拜登总统签署成为法律的《2023 年综合拨款法案》取消了 X 豁免要求，并对所有新注册和续期的缉毒局注册人员实施了新的培训要求。本简要报告概述了丁丙诺啡处方监管的历史，回顾了最近的监管变化及其对执业护士开具丁丙诺啡处方的影响，最后考虑了促进丁丙诺啡使用的重要性。
期刊介绍：
The Journal of the American Association of Nurse Practitioners (JAANP) is a monthly peer-reviewed professional journal that serves as the official publication of the American Association of Nurse Practitioners.
Published since 1989, the JAANP provides a strong clinical focus with articles related to primary, secondary, and tertiary care, nurse practitioner education, health policy, ethics and ethical issues, and health care delivery. The journal publishes original research, integrative/comprehensive reviews, case studies, a variety of topics in clinical practice, and theory-based articles related to patient and professional education. Although the majority of nurse practitioners function in primary care, there is an increasing focus on the provision of care across all types of systems from acute to long-term care settings.
