There is limited research on OUD in patients with cancer and standardized screening for OUD is largely no utilized in the oncology setting, although a high percentage of cancer patients will receive an opioid prescription during oncology treatment. This study aimed to address this gap by implementing the Opioid Risk Tool- Revised (ORT-R) in oncology clinics to assess the scope of high-risk individuals among this population. The ORT-R, a validated screening tool, was introduced to providers and administered to new oncology patients at four Oregon Health and Science University (OHSU) Knight Cancer Institute clinics. Data collection occurred over three months, assessing completion rates and identifying high-risk individuals. Implementation strategies involved staff training sessions, emphasizing the importance of OUD screening, and integrating the ORT-R into routine new patient paperwork. Among 149 oncology patients completing the ORT-R, 13.42% screened high risk for developing OUD. The results align with existing literature, supporting the efficacy of using the ORT-R in oncology settings, and reinforcing the need for standardized screening for OUD in oncology patients. 000042857 540__ $$fNo License 000042857 542__ $$fIn copyright - single owner 000042857 650__ $$aOpioid-Related Disorders$$022689 000042857 650__ $$aOncology Nursing$$023205 000042857 650__ $$aAnalgesics, Opioid$$014660 000042857 650__ $$aEarly Detection of Cancer$$038151 000042857 651__ $$aOregon$$041094 000042857 6531_ $$acancer 000042857 6531_ $$aneoplasms 000042857 691__ $$aSchool of Nursing$$041370 000042857 7001_ $$aMonda, Alisa$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000042857 8564_ $$925ec4f0d-cdf5-43da-94be-2346f1793c03$$s1319328$$uhttps://digitalcollections.ohsu.edu/record/42857/files/Monda.Alisa.2024.pdf 000042857 909CO $$ooai:digitalcollections.ohsu.edu:42857$$pstudent-work 000042857 980__ $$aTheses and Dissertations 000042857 981__ $$aPublished$$b2024-04-08
