Module 1: Introduction & Overview of NP Role in LTC
1.4 Nurse Practitioner Models of Care
NPs work in a variety of models and settings. Some of the NP models include the following:
- Geographical (e.g. remote, rural, urban)
- Institution based (e.g. community, primary care, acute care, corrections, LTC, etc.)
- Population based (e.g. age related, Indigenous, low-socioeconomic, chronic diseases, etc.)
- Practice configurations (e.g. solo, interdisciplinary, consultative, etc.)
In LTC, there are a few different models of care that include:
- Attending NP (employee or contractually hired)
- Consultative NP (mobile response team, interdisciplinary primary care team)[1]
The attending NP and consultative NP models of care will be further reviewed.
