Fentanyl killed 75,000 people in 2022. Now it’s making one of the best treatments for opioid addiction harder to use.

Leafy communities have steered subsidized housing away from parents with kids and toward elders for decades. It’s time for a rebalancing.

Everyone knows NP and PA’s are playing a bigger role in the medical system. But until this study, I didn’t realize how large a fraction of care they provide!.

Virtual access to doctors is a huge plus for patients. But it's a lot of new work for physicians. And the health care business model hasn't caught up with this new reality.

In summary, our argument is no compelling evidence that new restrictions are needed & may cut off many from a life-saving drug. We call for DEA to revisit the proposed rule. If you agree, consider posting a comment on the DEA website. (5/).

New rule requires in-person visit in 30 days after first telemed bup rx. We are worried this may be impossible logistically. Also would be a big shift in practice. Currently only 12% of those started on bup via telemed have in-person visit in next 30 days. (4/).

Available evidence also does not support idea that telemedicine for treating opioid use disorder results in lower quality care. In fact, if anything, it may lead to improved outcomes. (3/).

To date modest use of telemedicine to start patients on buprenorphine. Through December 2022 ~13% of new starts are via telemedicine. Telemedicine has not “opened the flood gates.” (2/)

DEA just proposed new rules limiting prescribing of buprenorphine via telemedicine. In a letter to DEA, we summarize evidence on using telemedicine to treat opioid use disorder & why new rules are problematic. Couple of highlights in this thread (1/5).
