Abstract
Implementation insights
•
Hospitalization is a reachable moment to address opioid and other substance use disorders. This includes initiation of pharmacotherapy such as buprenorphine, which is the standard of care but not frequently offered.
•
Initiating pharmacotherapy for interested patients with opioid use disorder (OUD) during hospitalization does not require a formal addiction consultation service and can be accomplished by any in-hospital prescriber, aided by interprofessional and multidisciplinary teams with support from senior leadership.
•
Barriers to widespread adoption include lack of education; stigma towards people with substance use disorders; inadequate outpatient capacity to address OUD; regulatory requirements; and challenges to modifying electronic health record algorithms, clinical workflows, and institutional policies.
期刊介绍:
HealthCare: The Journal of Delivery Science and Innovation is a quarterly journal. The journal promotes cutting edge research on innovation in healthcare delivery, including improvements in systems, processes, management, and applied information technology.
The journal welcomes submissions of original research articles, case studies capturing "policy to practice" or "implementation of best practices", commentaries, and critical reviews of relevant novel programs and products. The scope of the journal includes topics directly related to delivering healthcare, such as:
● Care redesign
● Applied health IT
● Payment innovation
● Managerial innovation
● Quality improvement (QI) research
● New training and education models
● Comparative delivery innovation
