1 Comparing and contrasting 3 models of Nurse Practitioner MRP in Ontario public hospitals PANEL DISCUSSION SEPTEMBER 22, 2017 Hôpital Montfort, Ottawa Vanessa Helleur NP (Adult), BScN, MN St-Joseph s Health Centre, Toronto Sharon Mulsant BA, BSN, MSN, NP - Adult Lakeridge Health, Whitby Dr. Michelle Acorn DNP, NP-PHC/Adult PRESENTATION OBJECTIVES To explore 3 different models that have the Nurse Practitioner (NP) acting as the MRP (Most Responsible Provider) for admitted inpatients. To discuss successes and challenges to ongoing practice as well as strategies to work around existing barriers. To explore opportunities to expand these models into various departments of public hospitals as part of a shifting paradigm for care delivery. 1
2 PRACTICE LANDSCAPE To our knowledge 3 hospitals in Ontario have successfully operationalized Nurse Practitioners (NPs) as Most Responsible Providers (MRPs): Lakeridge Health in Whitby Montfort Hospital in Ottawa St-Joseph s Health Center in Toronto This model reflects recent regulatory and legislative changes to the Public Hospitals Act (Reg 965, 1990) which enable NPs to admit, treat and discharge patients admitted to Ontario Public Hospitals HÔPITAL MONTFORT Francophone academic hospital affiliated with the University of Ottawa Provides bilingual services as part of a hospital system serving 1.2 million people Received accreditation with exemplary standing from Accreditation Canada Designated Best Practice Spotlight Organization (BPSO) by the RNAO One of the 30 best employers in the national capital region 2015 & 2017 Over 1800 employees, 289 acute care beds and 11 operating rooms Over surgical interventions, day procedures per year and emergency room visits per year OTTAWA, ONTARIO 2

Ideally stable, frail elderly patients at risk of requiring long term care Frequency of rounding Afterhours coverage, planned and un-planned absences Approach to legislative and regulatory gaps Mondays + Fridays + PRN, NP available on unit during regular business hours for RN/families Hospitalist team provides coverage Medical directives authorized by the Medical Acts Committee. Consult with physician collaborator for assistance. 3
4 MONTFORT MODEL Mentorship and support for NP Access to emergency medical consultation in decompensating patient General reception by colleagues,patients and families Montfort Dedicated physician collaborator to provide mentorship and guidance RACE team available in hospital and access to full complement of medical specialists on a consultative basis CritiCall from patients requiring off-site service Patients and families very pleased with service, no patient/family has refused care by NP Colleagues for collegial and supportive although coverage remains an ongoing challenge Biggest ongoing challenge After hours coverage Access to CritiCall is tenuous Biggest success Navigating the challenges of implementing this model ST-JOSEPH S ACatholic community teaching hospital affiliated with the University of Toronto. We are a vital resource providing specialized paediatric services, family medicine and dedicated programs for senior populations.

No vacation coverage Same MD on call 24/7 Post Nurse Practitioner MRP NP covers 30 beds, MD covers 15 Shared vacation coverage, Shared call, Reduction in after hours call Less provider burnout Better patient care Enhanced nursing skills in assessment and patient management ST-JOSEPH S St-Joseph s Health Centre Toronto Date of implementation September 2015 Number of attending NPs, case load Number of admissions & discharges Patient selection and profile Frequency of rounding Afterhours coverage, planned and un-plannedabsences Approach to legislative and regulatory gaps 1-Adult 1-back up for call schedule (recently retired) 45 bed unit NP has 30 beds.

6 ST-JOSEPH S Mentorship and support for NP Access to emergency medical consultation in decompensating patient General reception by colleagues,patients and families Biggest ongoing challenge Biggest success St-Joseph s Health Centre Toronto MD collaborator. NP can consult any MD if necessary Part of acute hospital. NP to evaluate if present on unit. REACT team available if patient meets criteria. Transfer to GMU or ICU if NP deems necessary. ER doc available for overnight issues Very positive. Families, staff, interdisciplinary teams, MD colleagues very supportive Medical directives (who signs off?) NP MRP model implemented with success, better patient care with 2 providers and not just one, call system put in place with staff education, RN/RPN buy in for nurse as MRP LAKERIDGE HEALTH Whitby - Post acute specialty hospital 5 sites: Bowmanville, Oshawa, Whitby, Ajax & Port Perry One of 30 best employers Durham region NP as MRP only at Whitby site NP in/outpatient roles: o Oshawa (GAIN, mental health - eating disorders/addictions, dialysis) o Whitby complex diabetes o Ajax - medicine Whitby, Ontario 6

8 LAKERIDGE HEALTH MODEL Mentorship and support for NP Access to emergency medical consultation in decompensating patient General reception by colleagues,patients and families Biggest ongoing challenge Biggest success Lakeridge Health NPs/MD Liaison 911 Free standing hospital, no emergency room Pt must transfer facilities Researched - Acorn (2015) pt/family/staff satisfaction, best practices, international accolades, early adopter, supportive of others to get established Sustainability due to no dedicated funding Established and successful, value added NP domains of practice, consistency LESSONS LEARNED Negotiation of after-hours coverage can be challenging may require an agreement with hospitalists if NPs unable to meet on-call requirements. Strong administrative support is critical to overcoming barriers while implementing. (See the presentation on Operationalizing the NP-MRP role for tips on how to build support) This is an enormous responsibility for NPs to take on medically/legally A perceived/actual conflict of interest may arise as the NP is usually a salaried employee of the hospital. This could remove the check/balance that is inherent with the consultant role of MDs. 8
