Impact of an electronically‐integrated clinical pathway on hospital initiation of medications for alcohol use disorder and subsequent hospital utilization
Utilization of an EHR-integrated clinical pathway for individuals with AUD significantly increased MAUD initiation at hospital discharge. These findings support the use of an EHR-integrated clinical pathway as an implementation tool for overcoming barriers to MAUD initiation and may be a generalizable strategy for increasing low rates of MAUD prescribing for patients with AUD.
