As the point person for patients in treatment with buprenorphine for opioid use disorder, the BN will have significant contact with most patients, and will be in constant contact with the physicians and other clinical and non-clinical team members in order to communicate patient’s needs and shape patients’ care. The BN will work closely with physician champions to track progress and extract data for programmatic reporting to clinical site medical and administrative leadership, as well as to the grant funder.
