Developing a Prescription Opioid Registry in Diverse Health Systems

​Building on past research, this project will establish the infrastructure to expand a prescription opioid registry across diverse health systems in the Addiction Research Network. Harmonized electronic health record data elements will be used to examine how changes in opioid use are associated with other patient outcomes, such as emergency department service utilization, benzodiazepine use, and use of other non-opioid medications (e.g., nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs [NSAIDs] and gabapentin), and how this may vary by patient characteristics and across health systems.
