A Longitudinal Collaborative Care Model for Patients With Opioid Problems: Emergency Department Longitudinal Integrated Care (ED-LINC)

The overarching goal of this investigation is to develop and determine the feasibility of a
multi-component intervention adapted from a collaborative care framework initiated in the ED
for patients at risk for opioid use disorder. This study will provide important feasibility
information for future studies of ED-LINC. The collaborative care intervention (ED-LINC) will
be supported by a novel Emergency Departement (ED) health information exchange platform.

The overarching goal of this investigation is to develop and determine the feasibility of a
multi-component intervention adapted from a collaborative care framework initiated in the ED
for patients at risk for opioid use disorder. According to the 2015 national survey on drug
use and health, an estimated 3.8 million individuals over 12 years of age were currently
misusing opioid pain relievers. An additional 329,000 people use heroin. The Emergency
Department (ED) is currently at the forefront of this public health emergency and often a
place where patients come for treatment of overdose and for treatment of medical problems
related to illicit opioid use.

Overall, the goal is to establish the feasibility of a multi-component intervention called
'Emergency Department Longitudinal Integrated Care (ED-LINC)' which is guided by principles
of collaborative care and is comprised of components that are evidence-based. ED-LINC is
initiated from the ED and continues longitudinally for patients at-risk for opioid use
disorder.
