Northeast Node Science Series: ED Treatment of OUD: Innovation & Discovery
February 6 @ 9:00 am - 10:00 am PST
Opioid use disorder (OUD) took the lives of an estimated 107,543 people in the United States in 2023, yet medications to treat OUD are effective and widely available. Emergency departments are a 24/7/365 option for combating this crisis and saving lives.
In this presentation, Dr. Gail D’Onofrio will discuss the evidence regarding initiation of buprenorphine in the ED, describe innovations in dosing and formulations (extended-release and high dose initiation), and discuss implementation strategies to improve uptake of evidence-based practices and integration into EDs across the country.
