520 _aCONCLUSIONS: Providers agree with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommendations to prescribe naloxone to high-risk patients. Certain barriers affect the rate of naloxone prescribing at discharge, including lack of time, patient education, provider training, and concern for increasing riskier behaviors.
520 _aDESIGN: Electronic cross-sectional survey.
520 _aMAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Respondents completed survey items including current naloxone prescribing practices, barriers to naloxone prescribing, and methods to improve naloxone prescribing.
520 _aOBJECTIVE: To evaluate current practices in naloxone prescribing upon hospital discharge.
520 _aPARTICIPANTS: Inpatient physicians and advanced practice providers.
520 _aRESULTS: The survey response rate was 51.6 percent. Greater than 90 percent of respondents agreed that naloxone should be prescribed for patients with an active opioid use disorder, history of overdose, and use of greater than 50 morphine milligram equivalents per day. Lack of patient education on proper use of naloxone was the most identified barrier to prescribing.
520 _aSETTING: Academic medical center.
