Abstract

Purpose of Review

Testing the efficacy of academic detailing in improving the practice of prescribing naloxone for patients on high-dose opioids.

Recent Findings

Academic detailing has been identified as an effective method for improving health care practices through focused community education.

Summary

We found that academic detailing is an effective method in improving health care providers’ knowledge about the importance of prescribing naloxone for patients on high-dose opioids. We also found that prescribers prescribed more naloxone after our education program. This study reflects the importance of education and academic detailing in resolving health problems. Academic detailing can provide effective preventive tools that can reduce the incidence of health problems we encounter.
