Psychoactive Substance Use is frequently associated with hospital readmission. Readmission is a hospital quality measure that reflects dimensions of quality of inpatient care and also impacts overall programs by payers such as CMS’s Star Rating Program, HRRP and Value-Based Purchasing. Suboxone (Buprenorphine/Naloxone) is a combination of buprenorphine and naloxone, used to treat opioid addiction. Studies have shown that Suboxone (Buprenorphine /Naloxone) is effective in reducing opioid use short term relative to placebo.
