  1. BC Ministry of Health NP4BC Workshop Pre-Questionnaire High Level Results

  2. NP4BC Questionnaire • 6 Questions: • What is one key thing with respect to NP integration that is working well? • What is one key thing with respect to NP integration that is not working well? • What is the most important issue that needs to be addressed? • If you could make one change to NP integration, what would it be? • What would be the highest priority to accomplish over the next 6-12 months? • Purpose of Questionnaire • To provide directional information to support the development of an appropriate agenda for the October 29th session • To identify some of the key issues facing NP integration, and subsequently allow for a more efficient use of time on October 29th • Not intended to be conclusive. • 362 Respondents • 141 Nurse Practitioners • 73 Physicians who have worked with NPs • 23 Patients of NPs • 19 Physicians who have not worked with NPs • 14 NP students • 5 Specialists who have worked with NPs • 3 Specialists who have not worked with NPs • 84 “other” (or no response to profession)

  3. NP4BC Questionnaire Results • There was a relatively narrow range of response themes • Most questions had some clear themes that accounted for a vast majority of respondents’ opinions. • There are some clear areas of common ground across professions • Generally, respondents across professions identified similar issues in areas including education, funding, compensation, role clarity, collaboration, and evaluation. • The results allowed the planning committee to shape the agenda for today.

  4. NP4BC Questionnaire Results What is the most important issue to be addressed? • Professional continuing education and practice supports for NPs in the community (16%) • Provincial evaluation (13%) • Interprofessional education, practice support and training (13%) 2. NP funding mechanism (13%). What is one change you would make? • Change the funding mechanism/model/approach (30%) • Improve role clarity, understanding and/or acceptance (16%) • Improve collaboration/integration of NPs into practices, particularly with GPs (10%) What should be the highest priority for the next 6-12 months? • Funding/compensation and/or the funding mechanism (25%) • Improve role clarity, awareness, and/or acceptance of the role (12%) • Generally improve collaboration/integration of NPs into practices, particularly with GPs (10%)

  5. NP4BC Conversation Themes 5. Consultation Supports • Compensation supports to enable NP integration and other members of the multidisciplinary team • Physician’s time and support to NPs in co-developing patient care plans where patient is part of the NP panel. 6. Role Clarity • Shared understanding of NP scope of practice (uneven across contracts, populations and models) • Building awareness and understanding of what’s possible / what exists /what works/doesn’t work. 7. Integration and Collaboration • Enablers of NP integration and integrated primary and community care • Improve collaboration and integration of NPs into practices (specifically targeted to GPs) • Reporting relationships in community. 8. Access to Primary Care in Communities • Patient access to healthcare, particularly in remote communities and/or areas underserviced or not serviced by GP • NP after hours care of own patients • Business case for multidisciplinary team approach to increase primary care capacity in community. 1. Interprofessional Education • Continuing education supports for NPs and GPs and  multidisciplinary team • Ongoing inter professional curriculum development. 2. Multi-Disciplinary Practice Supports • Building capacity for change management • Provincial/regional resources and supports for change management. 3. Evaluation (Provincial / Regional / Local) • What is important to measure? What is the business case? • What are enablers of inter professional collaborative practice • Functions based review of models of care • Encounter codes and reporting by NPs as part of the multidisciplinary team • If not encounter codes then what? 4. NP Funding Model • Current provincial funding model does not incorporate overhead costs while FFS does • Operational costs, overhead/benefits, office space • Funding models that support multidisciplinary care based on population need.
