Beyond the Doctor's Workshop: The Role of the Health Administrator on the Interprofessional Team
Description: CNA's Primary Care Toolkit is a resource for registered nurses and nurse practitioners who are building collaborative teams in primary care settings such as family practices and walk-in clinics. The primary care system is the 'first line' of clinical services that provides an entry point to the health-care system. This toolkit can help registered nurses (RNs) optimize their role in a multi-disciplinary primary care team and aid RNs as they integrate a primary health-care focus more effectively into their practice. Primary care teams, which include family physicians, registered nurses, and other health-care professionals working side-by-side as partners, produce better health outcomes, improved access to services, more efficient use of resources, and greater satisfaction for both patients and providers. (CNA, 2005). This toolkit is designed to be a comprehensive resource for accessing information and resources on evidence-based care. It was developed under the leadership of the Canadian Nurses Association with the support of the Canadian Family Practice Nurses Association and other health-care partners.
