Safer opioid prescribing requires that providers and systems are able to identify patients who misuse or divert opioids. This systematic review assessed different automated algorithms to detect population-level nonmedical opioid use. The authors suggest that algorithms that integrate claims data with natural language processing or other advanced informatics techniques yield the best results.
