Back to top Can an individual PCN submit a proposal independently? No, all proposals must be submitted via the Zone PCN Committee with support from the Zone PCN Committee Dyad.

Back to top Where can we get data for the development of our health service plan? Multiple data sets are being coordinated through the provincial zone service planning approach and will be available to support the development of your plan. To ensure consistency in data methodology and its application across all zones, Alberta Health (AH) will be coordinating and supporting zone specific data requests. AH is continuing to work through the development of a provincial intake process for zone data requests. As your zone identifies specific questions/queries, please contact Cora-Lee Polansky: Email: [email protected] Phone: 780-901-7454 Back to top What are the knowledge translation activities to be delivered by the ACFP PEER team? The ACFP PEER Deliverable Summary provides a high level overview of the knowledge translation activities to be delivered. Activities include: • Simplified Primary Care Guide for Opioid Use Disorder (OUD) • Simplified Primary Care Guide for Pain Management • Simple 1-2 page algorithm/summary of guide • Online learning module related to guideline content • Infographic tools, educational videos and pamphlets for practicing clinicians and patients • C-TOP website (Comparing Treatment Options for Pain) • Publication of 3-6 Tools for Practice related to guideline content • Creation of 2 podcasts for each guideline for online distribution (BS Medicine) • Small group learning module on OUD in collaboration with the Foundation for Medical Practice Education (McMaster University) Back to top 2 When will the ACFP PEER team knowledge translation tools be available? The ACFP PEER Deliverable Summary provides the dates for delivery of the knowledge translation tools: • Simplified Guidance documents for Primary Care • Opioid Use Disorder – March 2019 • Pain Management – March 2020 • Pain management tools are available on the C-TOP website (Comparing Treatment Options for Pain): http://www.pain-calculator.com/ • Neuropathic Pain tool released April 2018 • Osteoarthritis and Back Pain to be future releases (dates TBD) Back to top What opportunities are there for the zones to collaborate with PEER on knowledge translation? The ACFP PEER Deliverable Summary provides a summary of the opportunities for the zones to collaborate with PEER on knowledge translation, including: • Generate and provide presentations on Simplified guidelines • Development and delivery of fully accredited provincial roadshow presentation (3 – 8 hrs) on Simplified guidelines and related medical content • Provide and assist with development of academic detailing programs throughout the province on guideline content • Provide slide deck and sample presentation series for other local subject matter experts with “train the trainer” seminars Note: Cost for the PEER team resources are free. All other costs are the responsibility of the zone. Back to top What is required for physicians/nurse practitioners to be able to prescribe buprenorphine/naloxone (Suboxone) or Methadone? At this time, pharmacists are employed by PCNs. Any new pharmacy services related to opioids that have been identified as part of the Primary Health Care Opioid Response Initiative proposal, will need to be approved as part of the PCN business planning process and include PCN board governance. Pharmacists are unable to direct bill via a PCN. Back to top Can zones spend money on partnerships with community pharma? Yes, the grant does not restrict funding allocation to partnership activities with community pharmacy programs. The grant is one-time funding so it is not advised to allocate grant dollars to create net new operational staff. Back to top 3 Can zones encourage pharmacists to bill for their services within PCN framework? At this time, pharmacists are employed by PCNs. Any new pharmacy services related to opioids that have been identified as part of the Primary Health Care Opioid Response Initiative proposal, will need to be approved as part of the PCN business planning process and include PCN board governance. Pharmacists are unable to direct bill via a PCN. Back to top Is OAT covered by the Alberta Health Care Insurance Plan? In 2017/2018, approximately 7800 Albertans were receiving Opioid Agonist Therapy (OAT). Approximately 25% of these people either paid for treatment out-of-pocket or through private insurance. The cost of opioid agonist therapies are highly influenced by the time of medication used and the treatment length. Average costs for one year of methadone range between $4,000-$9,000 and Suboxone (generics) from $5,000-$12,000. Universal coverage for OAT is not available at this time through Alberta’s government-sponsored health benefit plans which provides coverage for therapies, including the necessary dispensing fees. Alberta Health is currently exploring options regarding OAT coverage and accessibility. Back to top Will naloxone kits be provided under the PHC ORI for clinic use (e.g., in emergency/first aid kits? PHC ORI grant is not providing funding for Overdose Response Kits (naloxone kits) above what is funded through the AHS Community Based Naloxone (CBN) program. Naloxone kits are not publicly funded for workplace use. Employers are responsible for the purchase of naloxone for workplace use. CBN program encourages clinics to procure naloxone for clinic use in the same manner as all other medications they have on-site or through Adapt Pharma, the supplier for nasal naloxone in Canada. PCNs and physicians are encouraged to become distribution sites. For more information, visit https://www.albertahealthservices.ca/info/Page13663.aspx Back to top 4 How can the Zone PCN Committees find our more information on the Indigenous opioid grants and engage with First Nations groups? Communication process can be facilitated through the AHS liaisons. Following is an overview of the organizations funded through the Indigenous grant funding stream.
