Proactive Addiction Consultation for Hospitalized Patients With Opioid Use Disorder: A Pilot Study
A proactive model suggesting addiction consultation in patients with likely opioid use disorder resulted in an increased proportion of completed consultations as compared to usual care. Addiction consultations were associated with initiation or continuation of medication for OUD, demonstrating the value of addiction consultation services in the hospital. More research is needed to show the potential impact of addiction consultation services on health outcomes.
