Insights From a Qualitative Study of Nurse Practitioners in North American Primary Care Settings.
Our speaker is Martha Whitfield, PhD, APRN, FNP-BC, Assistant Professor in the College of Nursing and Health Sciences at the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth, and a board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner.
This presentation describes a qualitative study exploring the experience of nurse practitioners (NPs) in primary care settings across New England and Ontario. Learn how NPs developed capability in prescribing medication and safe supply for opioid use disorder (MOUD/safe supply). Hear about how NPs are assuming leadership roles to enhance person-centered and harm-reduction focused care and consider the implications for MOUD/safe supply within rural and remote settings. Learning objectives:
1. Explore how NPs experienced capability development in prescribing MOUD/safe supply
2. Examine the scope of the NP role, and its significance for MOUD/safe supply within rural and remote clinical settings
3. Describe how NPs are stepping into leadership roles in the treatment of OUD
4. Share examples of effective collaborations that support person-centered care and harm reduction
