Identifying High Utilizing Patients with Opioid Use Disorder to Engage in Primary Care

A research project funded by the National Institute on Drug Abuse to develop and evaluate primary care interventions targeting high-risk patients with opioid use disorder to improve health outcomes and reduce healthcare utilization.

Description

This project adapts an intensive primary care intervention of multi-disciplinary staff addressing social determinants of health to outreach complex patients with opioid use disorder seen in primary care, and assesses feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary efficacy to improve quality of care for these patients.
