Treatment Plan:
 
1.	Patient treatment is considered in three domains: interventional, pharmacological, and patient-centric recommendations. With this in mind the following recommendations are suggested:

1.	Patient-centric Recommendations:
a.	Psychiatric referral is/not indicated at this time.
b.	Your patient was been referred to the Chronic Pain Self-Management program. This program is free of charge and runs two hours per week for six weeks. It focuses on assisting patients on improving self-awareness with pain perceptions and subsequent actions. Your patient has been given further information regarding the program.
c.	I recommend the patient initiate a weight loss program and increase physical conditioning with an emphasis on core strength. I have discussed the role of aqua therapy, yoga, Tai chi, and cardiovascular fitness with your patient. To assist your patient with this you may elect to refer them to physiotherapy for assessment and care.
2.	Interventional Options:
I recommend a trial of nerve blocks/epidural injections for ….................. The palliative nature of these blocks was explained to the patient. The patient appeared to understand and wishes to proceed with this therapy. The patient was reluctant to consider this option; we will remain available to trial this option should they have a change of opinion.   
3.	Pharmacological Options (List all medication options suggestions separately and how they will be implemented):
a.	(Example, I suggest a trial of Hyrdomorph Contin 3mg po q12h initially, this may be titrated further base on the patients responses and functional improvement. I have provided a prescription for 28 tablets).
       The general side effects, possible interactions, and potential adverse effects of …...... was/were discussed with the patient. The patient appeared to understand and wishes to proceed with this pharmacological therapy.
(For certain medication options) The medication …............... is deemed off-label, the potential adverse effects of ….................... was/were discussed with the patient. The patient appeared to understand and wishes to proceed with this pharmacological therapy.

Once your patient appears to be stable on a treatment regimen, they will be repatriated back to you for ongoing prescriptions. At that time of they are on a narcotic analgesic, it is recommended you follow the NOUGG prescribing guidelines. I will remain available to see them for counselling and further recommendations as indicated.
Thank you for the opportunity of participation in your patient’s care, I will be seeing him/her shortly in follow-up. Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me at this Clinic. 
With kind regards, 
Dr. Omid Liaghati
