Naloxone Co-Prescribing for Emergency Medicine and Trauma Patients at High Risk for Opioid Overdose

Video Transcription

Video Summary

This video transcript discusses the implementation of a clinical decision support system to improve prescribing of naloxone to high-risk patients at Froedtert hospital. The hospital adopted the CDC guidelines for identifying the target population for naloxone prescribing and used a quasi-experimental pre-post analysis to evaluate the impact of the system. The results showed a significant increase in naloxone prescribing, particularly in the trauma surgery group and the emergency department. The study also identified gaps in care, particularly in the emergency department, and discussed ongoing efforts to address these gaps. Overall, the implementation of the clinical decision support system was deemed effective in increasing naloxone prescriptions for high-risk patients.
