L’objectif
For individuals desiring MOUD, the final step in the cascade is filling a written prescription, and fill rates have not been described.
Constatations/points à retenir
Only 70% of new prescriptions for medications for opioid use disorder were filled within 30 days. It is alarming that nearly 1 in 3 MOUD prescriptions go unfilled.
La conception ou méthodologie de recherche
We used data from a large de-identified database linking individuals' electronic medical records (EMR) and administrative claims data and employed a previously developed algorithm to identify individuals with a new diagnosis of OUD.
