Patients with alcohol use disorder (AUD) are some of the heaviest users of western healthcare resources and particularly emergency departments. Effective treatments for alcohol use disorder have recently become available but only a very small proportion of eligible AUD receive treatment. To talk about their excellent quality improvement work in identifying eligible AUD patients and directing them towards appropriate care from the emergency department, are our two guests today, Dr. Aron Zuidhof, Medical Director for Emergency Services in Interior Health and Dorrie Fasick, Transformational Lead for the Interior Health Emergency Services Network. They talk us through the groundbreaking, wrap-around, care-pathway for AUD they’ve helped develop and at the same time, offer a masterclass in spread and implementation of this initiative to all 28 facilities in their health region.
