Findings/Key points
The report highlights the need for diversified approaches to OAT, iOAT, and prescribed alternatives to strengthen OUD care nationwide. The checklists provide practical, actionable steps for health authorities, Ministry of Health, College of Physicians, and College of Pharmacists. The checklists are tailored to BC authorities but adaptable for other health authorities, etc. The policy brief outlines best practices of person-centered care and diversifying opioid prescription programs. It is also available in French.
