This survey assessed the extent of and satisfaction with collaboration between physicians and nurse practitioners (NPs) working in Ontario long-term care homes. Questionnaires, which included the Measure of Current Collaboration and Provider Satisfaction with Current Collaboration instruments, were mailed to NPs and physicians with whom the NP most frequently worked. The 14 matched-pairs of NPs and physicians reported similar levels of collaboration; however, physicians were significantly more satisfied with collaboration than were NPs (z = -2.67, p = 0.008). The majority of physicians (85%) and NPs (86%) indicated that collaboration was occurring, and 96 per cent of physicians and 79 per cent of NPs were satisfied with their collaboration. About one third of physicians reported that the NP had a negative effect on their income, but their satisfaction with collaboration did not differ from those who reported a positive effect. Overall, these physicians and NPs collaborate in delivering care and are satisfied with their collaboration.

Abstract As a means of enhancing clinical simulation opportunities for adult-gerontology nurse practitioner students, a series of video simulations were created for use for nurse practitioner education. With funding through the Health Resources and Service Administration (HRSA) Advanced Nursing Education Workforce grant and partnering with nurse practitioner clinical educators from Optum Health Care, a video simulation focused on the concept of treating an older veteran within a long-term care facility rather than transferring to the acute care setting was developed. The case Treating in Place: Nurse Practitioner-Led Team Management of a Long-Term Care Patient Video involved a nurse practitioner collaborating with a physician, a registered nurse, a social worker, and a family member. The interactive simulation video was developed using the eLearning authoring tool H5P to create learning experiences for students that can be used either in face-to-face classroom experiences or embedded in learning management systems. H5P is a web-based authoring tool that helps faculty build interactive course content. H5P activities provide instant feedback to students, allowing them to self-assess their understanding of the dynamic video simulation case. A faculty handbook that describes the case scenario with the interactive questions and suggested discussion questions is available. The adult-gerontology primary care nurse practitioner competencies addressed for this case are identified in the faculty handbook. These videos have been widely disseminated and are being included in nurse practitioner curriculum across the country. A QR code with access to direct viewing of the video will be included in the presentation.

Interprofessional Care

Background Interprofessional care ensures high quality healthcare. Effective interprofessional collaboration is required to enable interprofessional care, although within the acute care hospital setting interprofessional collaboration is considered suboptimal. The integration of nurse practitioner roles into the acute and long-term care settings is influencing enhanced care. What remains unknown is how the nurse practitioner role enacts interprofessional collaboration or enables interprofessional care to promote high quality care. The study aim was to understand how nurse practitioners employed in acute and long-term care settings enable interprofessional collaboration and care. Method Nurse practitioner interactions with other healthcare professionals were observed throughout the work day. These interactions were explored within the context of “knotworking” to create an understanding of their social practices and processes supporting interprofessional collaboration. Healthcare professionals who worked with nurse practitioners were invited to share their perceptions of valued role attributes and impacts. Results Twenty-four nurse practitioners employed at six hospitals participated. 384 hours of observation provided 1,284 observed interactions for analysis. Two types of observed interactions are comparable to knotworking. Rapid interactions resemble the traditional knotworking described in earlier studies, while brief interactions are a new form of knotworking with enhanced qualities that more consistently result in interprofessional care. Nurse practitioners were the most common initiators of brief interactions. Conclusions Brief interactions reveal new qualities of knotworking with more consistent interprofessional care results. A general process used by nurse practitioners, where they practice a combination of both traditional (rapid) knotworking and brief knotworking to enable interprofessional care within acute and long-term care settings, is revealed.
