Résumé

Opioid use disorder is a major public health concern that accounts for a high number of potential years of life lost. Buprenorphine/naloxone is a recommended treatment for opioid use disorder that can be started in the emergency department (ED). We developed an ED-based program to initiate buprenorphine/naloxone for eligible patients who live with opioid use disorder, and to provide unscheduled, next-day follow-up referrals to an opioid use disorder treatment clinic (in person or virtual) for continuing patient care throughout Alberta. In this quality improvement initiative, we supported local ED teams to offer buprenorphine/naloxone to eligible patients presenting to the ED with suspected opioid use disorder and refer these patients for follow-up care. Process, outcome, and balancing measures were evaluated over the first 2 years of the initiative (May 15, 2018-May 15, 2020). The program was implemented at 107 sites across Alberta during our evaluation period. Buprenorphine/naloxone initiations in the ED increased post-intervention at most sites with baseline data available (11 of 13), and most patients (67%) continued to fill an opioid agonist prescription at 180 days post-ED visit. Of the 572 referrals recorded at clinics, 271 (47%) attended their first follow-up visit. Safety events were reported in ten initiations and were all categorized as no harm to minimal harm. A standardized provincial approach to initiating buprenorphine/naloxone in the ED for patients living with opioid use disorder was spread to 107 sites with dedicated program support staff and adjustment to local contexts. Similar quality improvement approaches may benefit other jurisdictions. OBJECTIFS: Le trouble lié à la consommation d’opioïdes est une préoccupation majeure en santé publique qui explique le nombre élevé d’années potentielles de vie perdues. La buprénorphine/naloxone est un traitement recommandé pour le trouble lié à l’utilisation d’opioïdes qui peut être commencé au service des urgences (SU). Nous avons mis au point un programme axé sur les urgences pour commencer la buprénorphine/naloxone pour les patients éligibles qui vivent avec un trouble lié à l’utilisation d’opioïdes, et pour fournir suivis des cas référés le jour suivant vers une clinique de soins des troubles liés à l’utilisation d’opioïdes (sur place ou virtuelle) pour les soins continus aux patients partout en Alberta. MéTHODES: Dans le cadre de cette initiative d’amélioration de la qualité, nous avons aidé les équipes locales de SU à offrir la buprénorphine/naloxone aux patients admissibles qui se présentent à la SU avec un trouble présumé de consommation d’opioïdes et à les diriger vers des soins de suivi. Le processus, les résultats et les mesures d’équilibre ont été évalués au cours des deux premières années de l’initiative (du 15 mai 2018 au 15 mai 2020). RéSULTATS: Le programme a été mis en œuvre dans 107 sites en Alberta pendant notre période d’évaluation. Les initiations à la buprénorphine/naloxone à l’urgence ont augmenté après l’intervention dans la plus grande partie de sites pour lesquels des données de référence étaient disponibles (11 sur 13), et la plupart des patients (67 %) ont continué de remplir une ordonnance d’agonistes opioïdes 180 jours après la visite à l’urgence. Sur les 572 renvois enregistrés aux cliniques, 271 (47 %) ont assisté à leur première visite de suivi. Des événements liés à la sécurité ont été signalés dans 10 initiatives et ont tous été classés comme n’ayant causé aucun conséquences à des conséquences minimes. Une approche provinciale standardisé de lancement de la buprénorphine/naloxone à l’urgence pour les patients atteints d’un trouble lié à la consommation d’opioïdes a été diffusée à 107 sites à l’aide de soutien aux programmes spécialisé et des ajustements aux contextes locaux. Des approches semblables d’amélioration de la qualité pourraient profiter à d’autres juridictions.
