Interrupted Time Series of User‐centered Clinical Decision Support Implementation for Emergency Department–initiated Buprenorphine for Opioid Use Disorder

Abstract

Implementation of user-centered CDS at a single ED was feasible, acceptable, and associated with increased rates of ED-initiated BUP and naloxone prescribing in patients with OUD and a doubling of the number of unique physicians adopting the practice. We have implemented this intervention across several health systems in an ongoing trial to assess its effectiveness, scalability, and generalizability.
