Walley AY, Farrar D, Cheng DM, et al. Are opioid dependence and methadone maintenance treatment (MMT) documented in the medical record? A patient safety issue. J Gen Intern Med. 2009;24(9):1007-1011. doi:10.1007/s11606-009-1043-4.
This study found that documentation of a patient's opioid dependence or participation in a methadone maintenance program was suboptimal and created opportunity for potentially unsafe medication interactions.
