- Abstract
Despite falling rates of opioid prescriptions and increased national efforts to reduce opioid misuse, a projected 700,000 people will die from opioid overdose between 2016 and 2025.[1] Less than 35% of people with OUD receive any treatment, and fewer receive evidence-based medication treatment. Harms associated with opioids and opioid use disorder (OUD) continue to affect millions of Americans. IDENTIFY GAPS IN TREATMENT INFRASTRUCTURE While many proposed OUD quality measures focus on organizational processes and treatment outcomes, the COVID-19 pandemic has laid bare the need for measures that help health systems evaluate treatment infrastructure.
