Improving Primary Care for Long-Term Care Home Residents
The Nurse Practitioner Association of Ontario is pleased to hear that the ministry will be funding 75 more nurse practitioner positions in long-term care homes. Research findings show that the integration of nurse practitioners into a long-term care home improves outcomes for the residents, leads to fewer transfers to hospitals and reduced length of stay, and is better value for money. This is good news for the people of Ontario!
