Improving care for hospitalized patients with opioid use disorder and infections
THE CONTINUUM OF CARE IN HOSPITALIZED PATIENTS WITH OPIOID USE DISORDER AND INFECTIOUS COMPLICATIONS OF DRUG USE (CHOICE)
['FUNDING_OTHER'] · PPD DEVELOPMENT LP · NIH-10717509
This study is looking for ways to improve care for people in the hospital who are dealing with problems from opioid use, especially infections like HIV, by combining addiction treatment with their hospital care and making sure they get support after they leave.

What this research studies
This research investigates how to better care for patients who are hospitalized due to complications from opioid use disorder, particularly focusing on infectious diseases like HIV and bacterial infections. It aims to develop and evaluate models of care that can effectively integrate addiction treatment during hospital stays and ensure continuity of care after discharge. By utilizing interventions such as addiction consult teams and linkage navigators, the research seeks to enhance the treatment of opioid use disorder and its associated infections. The goal is to improve patient outcomes by addressing both addiction and infectious complications simultaneously.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this research are hospitalized individuals diagnosed with opioid use disorder who are also experiencing infectious complications.
Not a fit: Patients who do not have opioid use disorder or those who are not hospitalized may not benefit from this research.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this research could lead to improved treatment protocols that reduce the incidence of infections and enhance recovery for patients with opioid use disorder.
How similar studies have performed: Previous observational studies have shown success with similar interventions in individual hospital systems, but this research aims to rigorously evaluate these approaches across multiple centers.
