4 Program Overview The Attending Nurse Practitioners in Long-Term Care Homes (Attending NPs in LTCHs) Initiative is part of the government s plan to build a better Ontario through its Patient s First: Action Plan for Health Care. The plan provides patients with faster access to the right care, better home and community care, information they need to stay healthy, and a health care system that s sustainable for generations to come. Building on the success of the NP in LTC Pilot, the initiative will fund 75 Attending Nurse Practitioner (NP) full-time equivalents (FTEs) in LTCHs over three years. As the most responsible provider with overall responsibility for the management and coordination of care for residents in the LTCH, the Attending NP will help increase access to, and quality of, primary health care by providing proactive screening and assessment, timely specialist referrals, follow-up care, ongoing chronic disease management, and end of life care. The Attending NP will be an onsite provider and will use 70% of his/her time to provide direct care to residents, and the remaining 30% of time for education, quality improvement, research, and leadership activities. The Attending NP will contribute to: Continuity of care; Creation and implementation of Quality Improvement Plans; Research and implementation of evidence-based practices; Increased knowledge capacity of staff and programming in the LTCH to meet the needs of residents; Improved care coordination and collaboration across the care continuum among health care providers within the LTCH and in the region; and Internal and external committees on behalf of the LTCH. 4
5 Summary of Changes to Selection Process Based on lessons learned and health partner input from Round 1, several changes are being implemented in the selection process for Round 2: A longer selection process, approximately six weeks, will allow more time for Local Health Integration Networks (LHINs) to work with their LTCHs and for LTCHs to develop their Integration Plans. A single Integration Plan will be accepted from LTCHs that are sharing a position (approved by representatives from both LTCHs). The Medical Director of the LTCH will sign off on behalf of the attending physicians of the LTCH, indicating the medical team s support for the role. LHIN recommendations for the selected LTCHs will be submitted in a standardized format, which will describe the LHIN s rationale for its selections and how the LHIN will support the Attending NP role. Implementation Approach LHIN Long-Term Care (LTC) Leads will collaborate with the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care (the ministry ) Service Area Office (SAO) Managers to select LTCHs (or LTCH pairs) to implement 30 Attending NP FTEs, starting in fiscal 2016/17 (see Appendix A Attending NP Role Description for information on the Attending NP role). Based on the selection criteria (see Selection Criteria on page 7 for details), the LHIN LTC Leads will provide the ministry with a short-list of five LTCHs (or LTCH pairs) and recommend two LTCHs (or LTCH pairs) per LHIN to receive Attending NP services. Two LHINs will receive three Attending NPs, and, therefore, will recommend three LTCHs (or LTCH pairs) to receive services. 5
6 Selection Process Activity 1. The Nursing Policy and Innovation Branch of the ministry will meet with the LHIN LTC Leads and SAO Managers to discuss the selection process and criteria. LTCHs will be informed by their LHIN, in a communication that will provide details of the selection process and related criteria. LTCHs will have the opportunity to express their interest to the LHIN. 2. LHIN LTC Leads will use the selection criteria to identify up to five LTCHs (or LTCH pairs) for consideration to receive Attending NP services. LHINs will provide the list to their local SAO Manager for input on the home s compliance status and history, as well as its operational and management capacity to fully utilize the services of an Attending NP. 3. LHIN LTC Leads will ask the identified LTCHs (or LTCH pairs) to complete the LTCH Integration Plan Template. The template must be signed by the LTCH s Board, Medical Director (also on behalf of attending physicians) and Administrator and/or Director of Nursing and Personal Care committing to the integration of the Attending NP role responsibilities as outlined in the Attending NP Role Description. 4. LHIN LTC Leads will review the LTCH Integration Plan Templates and identify LTCHs (or LTCH pairs) to receive Attending NP services (two or three depending on allocation). This will be discussed with the relevant SAO Manager. LHIN LTC Leads will document their rationale for selection and identify any supports to be provided for recruitment and optimization of the Attending NP role. It is strongly recommended that bargaining unit representatives be contacted for any unionized LTCHs under consideration to identify any concerns. 5. LHIN LTC Leads will send their LTCH recommendations, selection rationale and all documentation pertaining to the top five LTCHs to the Nursing Policy and Innovation Branch at nursing@ontario.ca. Anticipated Timing for Completion Week of October 11 th Two Weeks Three Weeks One Week November 28,
7 Selection Criteria The LHIN LTC Leads and SAO Managers will work together to identify LTCHs (or LTCH pairs) to receive services, that meet the following criteria: 1. LTCHs with a projected or demonstrated gap in access to care o LTCHs that are lacking health care providers who: Provide on-site comprehensive resident care as most responsible provider (not solely responding to acute or episodic changes in condition); Provide ongoing resident care that is coordinated within the continuum of care; Order diagnostic investigations, interpret results, and assume responsibility for follow-up; and Diagnose and manage acute and chronic health conditions. 2. LTCHs demonstrating need for quality improvement o LTCHs whose reporting history and Quality Improvement Plan suggest that they would benefit from the quality management and clinical support of an Attending NP in resident care areas such as: Skin and wound care; Falls management; Continence care; Behavioural supports; and Unique/challenging individual resident care profiles. o o LTCHs that are lacking health care providers who provide formal and informal teaching and coaching in the management of clinical care to interdisciplinary team members. LTCHs whose stability in general operations suggest that implementing an Attending NP would enhance their quality management structure and, in turn, that the Attending NP would receive sustainable support from management. 3. A Caseload of Up to 175 Residents o A caseload of up to 175 residents for one Attending NP FTE was recommended by members of the Attending NP Role Development Task Force, who were responsible for developing the role responsibilities of the Attending NP. 7
8 The ministry will review the rationale for the recommended LTCHs (or LTCH pairs), provided by the LHIN. The LHIN s rationale for selection should demonstrate the readiness for and acceptance of the Attending NP role by the LTCHs. In this regard, the LHIN should also consider the LTCH s human resource infrastructure, continuing education resources, and research capacity. LTCH Integration Plan The LHIN LTC Leads will ask their top five LTCHs (or LTCH pairs) to complete the LTCH Integration Plan Template. The purpose of the plan is to provide the LHIN and ministry with an overview of the LTCH s stated need for an Attending NP and its proposed approach to achieving key milestones with respect to the integration of the Attending NP role. The Integration Plan Template will provide details related to: Recruitment of the Attending NP, including the human resource capacity of the LTCH; Orientation and integration of the Attending NP in the LTCH; Infrastructure in place to support the Attending NP s role in resident care and leadership activities; Clinical coverage plan related to resident needs that require physician care; Plan to integrate resident care provided by the Attending NP with other health care providers within the LTCH and in the region; and Sharing of the Attending NP between two LTCHs (if applicable). Completed Integration Plans must be signed by the LTCH s Board, Medical Director (also on behalf of attending physicians), and Administrator and/or Director of Nursing and Personal Care committing to the integration of the Attending NP role responsibilities as outlined in the Attending NP Role Description. Based on the five Integration Plans received, the LHIN will select two (or three, as applicable) LTCHs (or LTCH pairs) to receive Attending NP services. 8
9 LHIN Recommendations In order to clarify the selection process undertaken by LHINs, each LHIN will be asked to provide a summary document explaining its process and rationale for selecting the short-listed LTCHs and the two (or three, as applicable) LTCHs (or LTCH pairs) recommended to receive Attending NP services. This summary document should describe: The suitability and readiness of the recommended LTCHs to implement the Attending NP role, based on deliberations between the LHIN and SAO Managers, as well as other considerations in making the selections (e.g., application of selection criteria); Any potential issues with the selections (e.g., lack of professional or clinical supports) identified by the LHIN and/or SAO Managers, and how the LHIN plans to mitigate these concerns (e.g., through local resources, such as Nurse-Led Outreach Team supports); and How implementation of the Attending NP role by the recommended LTCHs will support the LHIN s plans for its local health system, including quality improvement and enhanced LTCH capacity. 9
