IMPORTANCE Timely initiation and referral to treatment for patients with opioid use disorder seen in the emergency department is associated with reduced mortality. It is not known how often commercially insured adults obtain follow-up treatment after nonfatal opioid overdose. OBJECTIVE To investigate the incidence of follow-up treatment following emergency department discharge after nonfatal opioid overdose and patient characteristics associated with receipt of follow-up treatment.

Most patients with COVID-19 are asked to self-isolate and monitor their symptoms at home. However, their conditions may decline rapidly and unpredictably. The authors studied the use of a remote patient monitoring service via text messaging with clinical support to facilitate emergency department and hospital care for patients who require it.
