"The report provides valuable lessons about the process of onboarding and integrating nurses into family practices (e.g. preparation prior to onboarding, building trust with team members). Initial outcomes related to attachment, access, and patient and provider experience are explored. While the findings in the report are primarily focused on the Nurse in Primary Care Practice program in Central Okanagan, the findings can be applied to any team-based care environment, regardless of funding model."

"These guidelines are intended to offer clarity about information sharing between GPs and community partners for Mental Health and Substance Use (MHSU) adult patients (non-urgent care).
They were prepared to exist within the context of current legislation, including two privacy laws:
1) The BC Personal Information Protection Act (PIPA), which is the ‘private sector’ privacy law that covers the Delta Division of Family Practice, Doctors of BC, A GP for Me, health clinics, psychologists, GPs, counselors, and not-for-profit organizations, etc., and

"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. Nurse practitioners can order and interpret diagnostic tests, make medical diagnoses, prescribe some medications, perform specific procedures, and refer to medical specialists."
