This one-hour, on-demand, journal article-based activity presents a scoping review of the existing literature on the effectiveness and safety of high-dose buprenorphine initiation across fifteen studies across a range of health care settings. The authors reviewed outcomes from 580 high-dose buprenorphine initiations to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of this initiation strategy. There were no reported events of fatal or nonfatal overdose or respiratory depression, although adverse event reporting was inconsistent in published reports. The preliminary nature of their discussion of the research findings on the high-dose buprenorphine initiation approach was acknowledged; they noted the limitations of their search strategy and some methodological limitations of the studies reviewed. They also suggest avenues for further investigation to confirm the safety, efficacy, and effectiveness of the high-dose buprenorphine initiation approach for a broader patient population and range of settings. The target audience for this intermediate continuing education activity includes: physicians, nurse practitioners, PAs, pharmacists, and other clinicians, researchers, students, and policymakers. This activity addresses the following ACGME Core Competencies: Patient Care, Medical Knowledge, Interpersonal and Communication Skills, Practice-Based Learning and Improvement, Professionalism, and Systems-Based Practice.
