Title:
Collaborative Opioid Taper After Trauma: Preventing Opioid Misuse and Opioid Use Disorder
Summary:
HIPRC’s research is aimed at reducing the impact of injury on individuals and communities by developing evidence and educating providers, public health professionals, and the public regarding risks and care for injuries. This project explores the feasibility, efficacy, and potential sustainability of a collaborative pain care/opioid taper strategy for patients on opioids who are discharged to a rural primary care provider after hospitalization for moderate to severe traumatic injury. Opioid pain relievers are essential for treatment of pain after trauma, with over half of hospitalized trauma patients experiencing moderate to severe pain, and pain prevalence at hospital discharge as high as 97%. Few opioid tapering guidelines exist for patients discharged after injury. Opioid tapering requires collaboration among the trauma center, the patient, and the primary care provider (PCP). This collaboration is especially difficult for patients living in rural areas remote from the trauma center, resulting in inequities in risks for OUD and opioid overdose. The results of this project are intended to guide the development of best practices for post-hospital discharge care, providing a feasible and cost-effective clinical service that will aid trauma patients in their transition back into primary care and into pain- and opioid-free living.
