Study Summary

This project seeks to examine a critical barrier to optimizing the health care workforce for the treatment of opioid use disorders. Without a dramatic increase in the number of primary care providers trained and comfortable with the many nuances of prescribing medication-assisted treatment (MAT), the staggering increases in opioid overdose deaths will continue to skyrocket. However, Drug Addiction Treatment Act (DATA) 2000 waiver training alone is not enough to facilitate prescribing for patients who desperately need services; an estimated 40% of physicians with waivers do not initiate MAT prescriptions. To address this problem, North Carolina developed a learning collaborative framework to promote MAT training. Learning collaboratives have been shown to be an efficacious approach to increase utilization of MAT, but engagement among providers in North Carolina has been low. To date, the need to encourage provider collaborative participation at scale has not been addressed. This is the critical problem focused on in this proposal. The death rate from accidental opioid overdoses continues to climb at an alarming rate, with overdose deaths in 2016 almost five times the number from 1999. The daily death rate from opioid overdoses in the U.S. alone is now estimated at 115, so every day that evidence-based treatment is not available leads to more preventable deaths. North Carolina is one of the states with both an opioid overdose death rate greater than the national average (11.9 vs 10.4 deaths per 100,000, age-adjusted) and a rate of increase in opioid overdose deaths greater than the national average (19% vs. 16%). North Carolina is also one of four states with an Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) funded Extension for Community Healthcare Outcomes (ECHO) MAT learning collaborative available to primary care practices, but engagement among providers is low. While the main barriers to engagement are incompletely understood, recent evidence from provider in
