A Scalable, Automated Warm Handoff from the Emergency Department to Community Sites Offering Continued Medication for Opioid Use Disorder: Lessons Learned from the EMBED Trial Stakeholders

This is an academic paper that describes lessons learned from the implementation of a system that initiates buprenorphine in the emergency department and provides a warm handoff to community providers for continuation of medication treatment. There is focus on information technology facilitators and barriers. A better-designed system will increase retention in treatment.
