FEATURED ARTICLE
Nursing Leadership (CJNL), 22(2) 2009: 58-72
The Primary Healthcare Nurse Practitioner in Ontario: A Workforce Study
Mary van Soeren, Christina Hurlock-Chorostecki, Sharon Goodwin and Elizabeth Baker

Abstract:
The role of the primary healthcare nurse practitioner (NP-PHC) has a long history in Ontario. In this paper, we describe the evolution of the role with a focus on geographic distribution, a profile of client populations and the services provided by NP-PHCs. Comparisons will be made to findings from previous studies and reports on the NP-PHC role in Ontario.

In 2004 and 2005, two-thirds of the nurse practitioners registered with the College of Nurses of Ontario responded to a descriptive self-reporting survey. The data collected revealed that NP-PHCs work throughout the healthcare system, including with underserviced and marginalized populations, in community health centres and in outpatient areas within acute care hospitals.
