Emergency Department Outcomes for Patients With Opioid Use Disorder

Using mixed methods and triangulating multiple sources of data collected over the course of parent and ancillary studies to evaluate the feasibility, acceptability, sustainability, and impact of the ED-initiated BUP clinical program and implementation facilitation strategy and identify factors influencing diffusion and effectiveness. Converging provider and patient perspectives and field notes with process measures and intervention outcomes, including proportions screened, treated, and engaged in treatment, will provide explanation to contextualize and better understand feasibility, acceptability, and factors associated with the rate with which the ED-initiated BUP innovation is adopted and how well it is sustained.
