Exemplar Hospital Initiation Trial to Enhance Treatment Engagement (EXHIT ENTRE) (NIH HEAL Initiative)

Funded by the NIH HEAL Initiative®

This study will examine whether 1) in hospitals with addiction medicine consultation services, hospital-initiated extended release buprenorphine (XR-BUP), compared to other OUD medications, results in increased OUD treatment engagement following hospital discharge; and 2) training hospitals without such consultation services on best practices for initiating OUD medication using consultation service hubs improves medication uptake in hospitals and following discharge.
