Opioid Care Honor Roll

Cal Hospital Compare is pleased to launch the 2021 Opioid Care Honor Roll Program.

Hospitalization is a “reachable moment” for many people with opioid use disorder (OUD). To accelerate hospital progress in building systems to treat hospitalized patients with OUD and train health care professionals in opioid safety practices, Cal Hospital Compare supports the California Opioid Care Honor Roll Program. The goal of the program is increased access to addiction treatment for hospitalized patients and reduction of opioid-related deaths.
