Patient Reported Outcomes for Opioid Use Disorder

Capturing Opioid Use Disorder Electronically & Patient Reported Outcomes

The goal of the project is to build a clinical data research infrastructure that will begin to enhance capacity to use electronic health record (EHR) data and patient reported outcomes measures (PROs) to conduct opioid related research in emergency departments (EDs). 200 adult patients with a history of non-medical opioid use, opioid use disorder, or acute opioid overdose will be enrolled and will be asked to complete three PRO surveys (baseline, 3 days post ED discharge, and 30 days post discharge).

Inclusion Criteria:

• Adult patient presenting to the Yale New Haven Hospital York Street Campus emergency department
• History of opioid use disorder or non-medical use of opioids, as measured by screening assessment OR receiving treatment for opioid overdose
• Willingness and ability to complete electronic surveys via a smartphone or computer

Exclusion Criteria:

• <18 years of age
• Inability to communicate in English
• Inability to provide consent (for example, due to psychosis, intoxication, severe mental illness or other reason)
• Transfer from the ED for psychiatric evaluation
