"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."

"This report is mandatory for all Divisions to submit at the end of FY2018/19 together with the audited financial statement. The learnings from the infrastructure funding template, combined with the quantitative and qualitative data Divisions will be providing via the Impact Measurement Framework, will help demonstrate the scope and impact of divisions across the province."

"The Doctors Technology Office (DTO) and Practice Support Program (PSP) in collaboration with the electronic medical record (EMR) vendor have developed EMR orientation guides that outline how to submit encounter, attachment and shift records using a step-by-step approach. Encounter reporting is the principal mechanism for contracted Family Physicians, Nurse Practitioners and PCN funded Registered Nurses and Licensed Practical Nurses required to report on services provided to patients. Activity reporting using encounter records are initiated through the clinic EMR and collected by the Ministry through Teleplan."
