Announcement

Dear Albertans:

The details of the NP primary care public funding model were presented to our provincial NPs on the evening of April 24/24. After careful review, we have determined that the funding is not well matched to the offering nor sustainability of our proposed NP led primary care clinics.

NP Antonishyn and I – as co-founders of Compass Health Services, are formerly removing our intention to proceed with the building of our Cochrane primary care clinic. Our focus will shift back to providing Albertans access to high quality, comprehensive primary care services exclusively through our private NP practice for the forseeable future.

FAQ’s

What is the difference between a nurse practitioner and a family physician?

  • NPs are the only other healthcare provider, along with family physicians, with the experience, skills, training and legislated authority to provide the full complement of primary care services to Albertans.
  • The vast majority of NPs are credentialled primary care specialists, with national growth rates of over 10%, compared to less than 1% of physicians who choose family medicine.
  • NPs offer a blend of nursing and medical science, which informs a comprehensive approach to their practice, compared to the episodic care model predominately used by family physicians.
  • NPs practice prioritizes a holistic – patient centeredness, collaborative decision making, and comprehensive primary care delivery at each visit.  Family physicians are more likely to practice in an episodic model of care delivery which best aligns with their preferred fee for service reimbursement model.
  • Family physicians specialize in the biomedical model of disease-based care services, while nurse practitioners specialize in the delivery of comprehensive primary care services which often integrates holistic principles and patient-centered strategies to address illness, health and wellness of individuals and groups.
