Study Summary
The COVID-19 pandemic is exacerbating the challenges faced by Veterans at risk of opioid overdose including Veterans prescribed moderate-to-high dose long-term opioid therapy (LTOT) whose usual treatment resources and coping strategies may be inaccessible. This project combines established VA care components to deploy and evaluate virtual models of care for Veterans on high-risk LTOT to meet the dual challenges of maintaining social distancing and delivery high quality care.
Primary Outcome
Using shared decision-making with Veterans, we will based the measure on clinical reports of patient change in opioid regimen. This would be tapering (reducing opioid dose), discontinuation, or transfer to buprenorphine. Any reduction or change was considered positive for change, even if the patients returned to their initial dose. The number of patients who agree to change their opioid regimen provides a realistic indicator of overall feasibility/acceptability.
