"Finding a new collegue or joining a medical practice is more than just filling a vacancy. It is important to consider the factors that set the stage for a long-lasting and fruitful partnership.
This booklet is a resource for both the new physician looking to join a practice and the recruiting physician looking to find a new physician to join their practice."

"This document examines the financial impact of the work environment of a Nurse Practitioner (NP) on Vancouver Coastal Health’s (VCH) budget. It evaluates the cost effectiveness of having the NP work from a General Practitioners (GP) clinic compared to the community healthcare clinic in the hospital. NPs are working in many different primary care areas, as a specialist or as generalist in a primary care setting. Compared to physicians, patient satisfaction and quality of care have been equal or higher than care provided by physicians. NPs are effective in the reduction of patient unattachment and reduction of emergency department (ED) visits. Although NPs take often more consultation time and sometimes conduct more preventative actions, their work can be comparable or even more effective compared to other providers.
This study hypothesized that the NP’s direct patient time and accessibility increases in the GP clinic, leading to a reduction of ED cost. ED and hospitalization cost of NP patients one year prior to attachment is compared with one year after attachment. Cost effectiveness is calculated by deducting incremental work environment cost by avoided ED and hospitalization cost."

"Article to raise awareness about Nurse Practitioner (NP) in Powell River.
To support better care for patients, the Powell River Division and Vancouver Coastal Health piloted a new program to refer patients with chronic conditions to a nurse practitioner.
