Clinical Management of Medication-Assisted Treatment for Opioid Use Disorder Using a Mobile Health App Within a Primary Care Clinic: Quasi-Experimental Study
Introduction of OARS in a primary care setting may be associated with a moderate change in MAT engagement as measured by UTOX, but not appointment attendance. While barriers to implementation and adoption, including difficulty fully integrating OARS with the clinic's electronic health record, may have attenuated the potential effect of the intervention, this study provides evidence that mHealth interventions, such as OARS, are a promising addition to the MAT treatment landscape.
