The Learning about Opioid Use Disorder in the Emergency Department (LOUD in the ED) Collaborative is a provincial quality improvement initiative focused on ED care for people who use opioids.
LOUD in the ED is an initiative lead by the Council in partnership with the Overdose Emergency Response Centre and the BC Center on Substance Use to shift how emergency departments care for people who use opioids.
This virtual action series will include a combination of virtual learning, coaching, networking and local improvement actions. Twenty-five teams from across the province will engage in learning and application of change ideas related to clinical practice, education, person- and provider-centred care and connections to the community. Participating teams will also engage with each other to share new learning and insights from their local improvement work.
After being postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, LOUD in the ED is now scheduled to launch in Fall 2020 and has been designed to be responsive to the evolving dual public health emergencies in BC.
