This is a recent summary/review article that discusses screeining patient’s for opioid use disorder in ED, the available medications, and initiation of treatment in the ED.
Article 2:
D’Onofrio, G., O’Connor, P. G., Pantalon, M. V., Chawarski, M. C., Busch, S. H., Owens, P. H., … Fiellin, D. A. (2015). Emergency Department–Initiated Buprenorphine/Naloxone Treatment for Opioid Dependence. JAMA, 313(16), 1636. http://doi.org/10.1001/jama.2015.3474
Randomized controlled trial of screening and referral, vs. screening referral and brief intervention, vs screening, referral, and initiation of MAT with buprenorphine. The only trial thus far assessing the utility of initiating MAT in the ED.
Article 3:
Zheng, W., Nickasch, M., Lander, L., Wen, S., Xiao, M., Marshalek, P., … Sullivan, C. (2017). Treatment Outcome Comparison Between Telepsychiatry and Face-to-face Buprenorphine Medication-assisted Treatment for Opioid Use Disorder. Journal of Addiction Medicine, 11(2), 138–144. http://doi.org/10.1097/ADM.0000000000000287

Though not an Emergency Medicine Study, looks at comparing telemedicine to face to face MAT with buprenorphine. A relevant question for Alaska.
