How Geisinger is responding to the opioid crisis and cutting ED visits in the process

Drug overdoses are now the leading cause of accidental death in the US. In 2016 alone, fatal drug overdoses (63,632) surpassed the number of individuals who died during the HIV/AIDS epidemic at its peak in 1995 (43,000) and U.S. military deaths in the Vietnam War (58,000). At this point, opioid abuse and addiction have had devastating consequences on communities nationwide.
