Purpose:

To solicit applications from eligible Emergency Medical Agencies to participate in the Emergency Medical Services Buprenorphine Use Pilot Program. This program will support Local Emergency Medical Service Agencies and Emergency Medical Services providers to provide treatment and access points for patients with an opioid use disorder.

Description:

This opportunity is for Emergency Medical Services (EMS) providers to provide treatment and access points for patients with an opioid use disorder. EMS agencies participating in the Emergency Medical Services Buprenorphine Use Pilot Program (EMSBUP) program will address substance use disorder as a treatable emergency condition, utilizing paramedics to identify and treat patients who would benefit from medication-assisted treatment. Eligible California Local Emergency Medical Service Agencies (LEMSAs) must have at least two years of experience in providing relevant services. The funding will be used to assist prehospital agencies to implement EMSBUP; coordinate with Navigators to provide linkages to care options for EMS patients with an opioid use disorder and provide a system for patients who sign out against medical advice to have access to outpatient treatment options and to collect de-identified data for research and monthly performance metrics to evaluate the effectiveness of the EMSBUP treatment model.
