The Bruyère Research Institute partners with Bruyère Continuing Care, the University of Ottawa and other stakeholders to conduct relevant and practical health sciences research related to medical education and improving the quality of life for the aging population and people requiring continuing care.
Function SummaryNurse practitioners (NPs) play a critical role in providing care within long-term care (LTC) homes. NPs are advanced nurses with master’s degrees. They can assess, diagnose, prescribe and treat residents, and work collaboratively with frontline staff, managers and physicians to provide care. Investigators (Amy Hsu, PhD, Carrie Heer, NP-PHC MN) at the Bruyère Research Institute are leading several projects on the contribution of this workforce to care quality and outcomes within LTC. For example, one project aims to develop a better understanding of the role of NPs in supporting the repatriation process to LTC after an emergency department transfer or hospital admission. Another project co-led by the Principal Investigators focuses on enablers and barriers to the recruitment and retention of NPs in the LTC sector.
