Nurse Practitioners' Association of Ontario

NPAO is the Professional Association representing the interests of all Nurse Practitioner specialties in Ontario

The Nurse Practitioners’ Association of Ontario (NPAO) was founded in 1973. In 1985 NPAO became an expert group of the Registered Nurses’ Association of Ontario. In 1998 it changed its mandate to include NPs in all levels of health care: primary, secondary and tertiary care. NPAO is served by a voluntary Board elected by the membership. NPAO sponsors an annual conference, maintains the web site, publishes a regular e-newsletter, facilitates local continuing education programs and offers five awards/bursaries to members.

Meet a Nurse Practitioner: NPAO would like to recognize & acknowledge Janelle Martin Edwards, Masters of Nursing, Primary Care Nurse Practitioner, NPAO Member.

The small northern community of Kapuskasing has significantly reduced resources when it comes to points of access for primary care. This has traditionally resulted in excess use of emergency room resources for primary care access, longer emergency care wait time and poor standardized Follow-up for patients. Having an NP available in the emergency department has allowed for improved access for these patients while they wait for primary care. Additionally it has improved wait times in the emergency department and has decreased hospital admissions for the geriatric population as well as contributed to better patient outcomes with regard to primary care access overall in the community.

Graduated from diploma nursing program from Northern College in Timmins in 2004. Graduated from Laurentian university BScN program in 2013. Graduated from the MScN/NP program at Laurentian in 2024.

Join us on February 11 at 12 PM for The Role of AI Scribes & Connected Care in Clinical Practice
https://loom.ly/9bV6W7c

This session will explore how connected care supports clinicians and insights from Canada Health Infoway’s AI Scribe Program.

Objectives:
✅Examine the current digital landscape within Canadian healthcare.
✅Explain the functions of AI scribes and their potential impact on clinical documentation and care delivery.

Our Wish of the Day:
