Hosted by CRISM in collaboration with the CRISM Ontario node, this roundtable webinar aims to regroup clinicians in a discussion on the implementation and expansion of flexible models of care for the clinical management and treatment of prescription opioid use disorder. In this session, we will hear from OPTIMA clinician Dr. Nikki Bozinoff and a multidisciplinary group of expert including physicians Dr. Wiplove Lamba, Dr. Claire Bodkin, nurse practitioner Mae Katt, and pharmacist Mark Barnes.
After outlining the findings of the national OPTIMA trial, which ran from 2017-2020, this multidisciplinary panel of clinicians will discuss some of the key considerations, barriers, benefits, and experiences around the practice and prescription of take-home doses of OAT, such as with BUP/NAL, in the context of Ontario. Through this discussion, the panel will explore next steps on how to optimize and expand flexible models of care and patient-clinician shared decision-making for OAT in clinical practice.
