How emergency departments are responding to the opioid crisis: Results from a statewide survey in Kentucky
The landscape of Kentucky's ED SUD supports shows several hospitals that offer services along the continuum of SUD care, and highlights the importance of technical assistance and financial resources to ensure the continuum is broadly available. Kentucky's experience speaks to broader national challenges in supporting SUD in EDs - specifically the need for financial resources, buy-in and education, and creating referral relationships to ensure care continuity.
