Abstract
The emergency department (ED) is frequently the primary point of entry into the health care system for patients with opioid use disorder (OUD), with acute ED presentations including acute overdose (OD), withdrawal, and the medical and psychiatric complications of OUD. Each subsequent OD increases the risk of death. Strategies to best identify patients at highest risk for subsequent OD can lead to improved utilization of ED-based interventions such as medications for opioid use disorder (MOUD), naloxone kits, and ED-based peer supporters providing linkage to treatment.
