We created a triage assessment to evaluate the potential risks of using cannabis as well as a framework related to cannabis use for medical purposes.
1 – This process evaluates if the user may experience drug interactions with current or future prescribed medications.
2 – It screens for Cannabis Use Disorder (CUD) and other potential concerns with cannabis use.
3 – It evaluates the patients current medical medical conditions to determine if cannabis for medical purposes could be an option.
a – Based on the assessment a follow up with a pharmacist may be recommended especially if there is a risk with drug interaction or if smoking (combustion) is a method of use indicated.
b – If the assessment indicates a potential risk in terms of addiction or abuse a follow up with a mental health professional is recommended.
c – If there is a potential that cannabis could be used for medical purposes, a referral to our HCP is provided.
We are extending the platform to leverage the patient information contained in the Telus CHR as well as integrating the services of Magnolia Point to include genetic markers in the risk assessment.
