Table 2 Summary of the multilevel determinants of ED initiation of buprenorphine through integration of the EMBED clinical decision support tool, guided by PRISM

From: Implementation strategies to address the determinants of adoption, implementation, and maintenance of a clinical decision support tool for emergency department buprenorphine initiation: a qualitative study

PRISM domain

Determinants

Intervention (organizational perspective)

• Clinician level: evidence to support buprenorphine initiation and the EMBED CDS

• Clinician level: ability to observe positive results from using the intervention, such finding out when a patient establishes care for OUD treatment after discharge

Recipients (organizational characteristics)

• Organizational level: perspective on buprenorphine initiation, including establishing buprenorphine initiation as a cultural norm within the department and communicating that clearly to all frontline clinicians and staff

Implementation and sustainability infrastructure

• Organizational level: ability to tailor the intervention to the local environment, including identifying existing interdisciplinary team members in the ED and the organization to implement the intervention, and the ability to integrate the CDS tool within the EHR

• Organizational level: commitment to implement and sustain intervention through activities such as designating local champions/experts

• Clinician level: sufficient training and support for prescribing clinicians

External environment

• Ability to link patients for ongoing treatment
