Article Synopsis
- - The study investigated how well veterans receiving opioid therapy followed clinical guidelines, comparing those who used only VA services (mono users) to those who also used community care (dual-system users).
- - High overall adherence rates (over 90%) to guidelines were found in both groups, although specific recommendations, like urine drug screening, were less consistently followed (8.9% for mono users, 11.2% for dual users).
- - The study indicated no clear trend in adherence between the two user types but noted an increase in overall guideline adherence from 2015 to 2019, suggesting a need for further research into coordination among dual-system users.
