Transitions of care following hospitalization remain critical for patients with substance use disorders, and gaps in coordination lead to missed follow-up, relapse, and readmission. This Grand Rounds will examine the structural, clinical, and social barriers that hinder effective linkage to care after discharge and compare established and emerging models to improve continuity. Attendees will gain practical strategies to strengthen care transitions and learn how to better support patients with substance use disorders after hospitalization.

His work focuses on improving transitions of care from acute settings for people with substance use disorders, including the design and implementation of novel care models.
