Implementing statewide emergency department care pathways for addiction recovery after opioid overdose.
Investigators from RI’s largest health care system, Brown University’s School of Public Health, and RIDOH are partnering to perform a hybrid implementation-effectiveness study that will: (1) refine and test an implementation strategy that aims to improve the fidelity of ED post-overdose care as it relates to the state’s Levels of Care policy, and (2) to test the effectiveness of policy-driven ED-based post-overdose care. We will specifically target implementation of 4 ED metrics: naloxone received at discharge; receipt of peer recovery support services; ED referral to treatment; and initiation of MAT in the ED.
