L’objectif
Opioid Use Disorder Medical Patient Engagement, Enrollment in treatment and Transitional Supports (OUD MEETS) program was a clinical pilot designed to increase initiation of buprenorphine and methadone for hospitalized patients with OUD requiring post–acute care. The program comprises a hospital partnership with two skilled nursing faclities (SNFs) and two opioid treatment programs (OTPs) to improve recovery supports and access to MOUD for patients discharged to SNF.
