Hospital & Health Care - Toronto, Ontario, Canada
Who is NPAO?\\The Nurse Practitioners' Association of Ontario (NPAO) was founded in 1973 and is the professional voice for over 3,400 Nurse Practitioners in Ontario. Nurse Practitioners are registered nurses with advanced university education and experience who provide a full range of health care services to all Ontarians. Nurse Practitioners can prescribe all drugs independently. NPs can also order and interpret laboratory and diagnostics tests, refer to specialists and admit, treat and discharge hospital patients.\\Nurse Practitioners work across the health care system in a wide variety of settings including hospitals, Family Health Teams, Community Health Centres, Nurse Practitioner Led Clinics, long-term care facilities, public health units, and with home care and palliative care teams. In some settings, NPs provide primary care services to individuals and families from newborns to the elderly, and often serve many of Ontario's most vulnerable and marginalized populations. In other settings, such as hospitals, NPs provide very specialized care, assessing and treating complex patients with multiple conditions. Nurse Practitioners place an emphasis on promoting health, preventing illness and injury, and reducing complications. With a patient-centered focus, NPs aim to reduce unnecessary emergency room visits, reduce the length of stay for hospital patients, and ensure that people are well cared for as close to home as possible.\\VISION\\NPs.
