Pilot Testing Fentanyl Test Strip Distribution in an Emergency Department Setting: Experiences, Lessons Learned, and Suggestions from Staff.

Implementing FTS distribution may improve patient rapport while providing patients with tools to avoid a fentanyl overdose. Participants generally reported positive experiences distributing FTS within the ED but the barriers they identified limited opportunities to make distribution more integrated into their workflow. EDs considering this intervention should train staff on FTS, how to identify and train patients, and explore mechanisms to routinize distribution in the ED environment.
