I recently learned that in places in the United States it's common practice for doctors to have a preconsult before prescribing. They'll actually bring patients in, sit down, talk to them, have a conversation with regard to why the prescription is being requested, then have a separate meeting with that same patient on another occasion to do the prescribing.
It's my understanding that this basically creates a bit of a lag period, if you will, which then allows the doctor to make a good judgment, but also creates a bit of a loophole for the individuals seeking the opioid.
Could you comment on whether or not you feel that this would be helpful in Canada?
