MAT outcomes, week ending 04-19-2026
Abstract
Across 312 buprenorphine inductions over 8 quarters, retention at 90 days was 78%, with COWS reduction of 9.4 (95% CI 8.7 to 10.1) from baseline. Concurrent counseling participation averaged 71% (n=222 of 312). 14 inductions were terminated for diversion concerns; 7 of 14 transitioned to a higher level of care.
Methods
Retrospective analysis of all signed encounters tagged MAT in the workspace. COWS scores, UDS results, and counseling attendance pulled from the structured fields on each visit note. No free-text mining; results derive from the same fields the chart uses.
