Opportunities
OPOR Change Network
The OPOR Change Network is a group of individuals who are supporting clinical transformation across Nova Scotia through the implementation of OPOR. Some of the roles in the Change Network are held by frontline healthcare providers who will be using OPOR every day. The Change Network is supported by the OPOR Clinical Engagement Team and is an essential part of this important clinical transformation.
People Leaders
People Leaders throughout the organization will be supported by OPOR through the Change Network to equip them with information about the program and clinical information system as it pertains to their team. By doing what they already do as engaged leaders, they will build capacity to further support their staff through the implementation and standardization and help address any questions or concerns along the way.

Subject Matter Experts
