Excited for our @YaleMed @JMIRpub on the design of a user-friendly health IT solution to facilitate rapid adoption of ED-initiated buprenorphine in routine emergency care /1 humanfactors.jmir.org/2019/1/e13121/
Buprenorphine decreases mortality, withdrawal symptoms, craving, and opioid use. But ED-initiation is not currently routine emergency care for people suffering from opioid use disorder. /2
In our pragmatic user-centered design process we learned (confirmed) that clinicians don’t want another annoying pop up. Instead, we provide only the info you want/need with a flexible and streamlined workflow whether waivered or not, new or experienced with ED bupe processes 
This is how our intervention integrates into EHR workflow in the ED /4
We will test this user-centered implementation in an upcoming @NIDAnews @Collaboratory1 pragmatic trial in the EMBED network @YNHH @UABEM @UNCEM_Research Colorado @BaystateEM rethinkingclinicaltrials.org/demonstration-… /5
Solving the #OpioidCrisis will require all hands on deck. This first step in the EMBED project seeks to also make the case for improved #EHR usability. We hope to see more Health IT undergoing user centered design to improve the #EHR user experience /fin
