Using Clinical Decision Support to Provide Social Risk-Informed Care for Opioid Use Disorder in the Emergency Department

Description

The overarching goal of this proposal is to integrate patient social risk information into an existing electronic health record (EHR)-based clinical decision support (CDS) tool (CDSv1) to facilitate emergency department (ED)-initiated, social risk-informed opioid use disorder (OUD) medication treatment and ultimately improve treatment adherence and follow up. The investigators will evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of the social care-enhanced CDS tool, CDSv2, (compared to CDSv1) at a single study site (UCSF) as an intervention to increase medication treatment adherence and follow up for adult ED patients experiencing opioid use disorder using a mixed-methods, before-after approach.
