A learning health system model for addressing substance use: Denver Health Center for Addiction Medicine
Integrated SUD care at a safety-net institution is a continued challenge. Persistent barriers include the SUD policy and regulatory landscape, addressing co-occurring social and health circumstances when treating SUDs, and accurate clinical documentation of SUDs. Applying a learning health system model can help health systems adapt to these challenges.
