Interventions
MHC Outreach Intervention
Adult PC clinics are randomized to receive the MHC Outreach Intervention early (n=7 clinics) vs. delayed (n=7 clinics). In early intervention clinics, patients prescribed chronic opioid therapy, on a chronic opioid registry, and receiving their medication from the intervention clinic are sent emails and letters inviting them to schedule an MHC appointment. Clinical staff at the early intervention clinic are educated to encourage attendance. During MHC visits, MHC staff assess patients prescribed Chronic Opioid Therapy (COT), educate them about overdose, prescribe naloxone, and order guideline-concordant opioid monitoring.
