Opioid stewardship program implementation in rural and critical access hospitals in Arizona

CONCLUSIONS: Some OSP elements were in place in nearly every Arizona CAH, while others were present in only a quarter or a third of hospitals. To improve, more attention is needed to define and standardize OSPs. Equal priority should be given to preventing unnecessary opioid initiation and treating opioid misuse or OUD, as well as quality control strategies that provide an opportunity for continuous improvement.PMID:38533713 | DOI:10.5055/jom.0842
