Abstract
Use of patient-reported outcomes measures (PROMs) may improve addiction treatment outcomes. This qualitative study investigated barriers and facilitators for PROMs implementation among prescribers of medications for opioid use disorder (MOUD) participating in AMNet, an addiction medicine practice-based research network. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with seven qualitative research participants of 57 AMNet providers. Interview data were analyzed thematically and coded using ATLAS.ti. Barriers included lack of electronic health record (EHR) integration; user interface issues; insufficient administrative support; challenges with patient engagement; and lack of fit with clinical practice. Facilitators included perceptions that PROMs use would improve outcomes and increase accountability while advancing addiction medicine. Patient-reported outcomes measures implementation is feasible in small outpatient MOUD practices, although resource constraints and technological barriers may reduce potential reach.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Drug Issues (JDI) was incorporated as a nonprofit entity in the State of Florida in 1971. In 1996, JDI was transferred to the Florida State University College of Criminology and Criminal Justice, and the Richard L. Rachin Endowment was established to support its continued publication. Since its inception, JDI has been dedicated to providing a professional and scholarly forum centered on the national and international problems associated with drugs, especially illicit drugs. It is a refereed publication with international contributors and subscribers. As a leader in its field, JDI is an instrument widely used by research scholars, public policy analysts, and those involved in the day-to-day struggle against the problem of drug abuse.
