, NURSE PRACTITIONERS 2


Nurse Practitioners a Benefit or Liability

At present, medical doctors in Ontario are working long hours and carrying larger

work loads leaving patients without physicians or without proper care. Due to

population ageing and population growth, the need for more physicians and the use of

nurse practitioners is heavily on the rise. Nurse practitioners work in partnership with

medical doctors; however, while they can work their full scope of practice, they remain

under the careful supervision of physicians. There are some that believe that the use of

nurse practitioners in place of more physicians is a liability as opposed to a benefit.

However, the utilization of nurse practitioners provides endless benefits in terms of

patient care as well as education—and additionally, they are more cost efficient.

The physician and hospital or organization utilizing nurse practitioners gain

liability regarding the nurse practitioners and the patients they see. If nurse practitioners

make errors that result in serious harm or death, the physician and hospital are liable

and responsible for their actions. To prevent potential mishaps, policies and procedure

are put into place. These include policies on the role of the nurse practitioner and their

scope of practice. Treatment guidelines, as well as clinical triggers for physician

consults are developed to help ensure proper patient care is being provided. For

instance, nurse practitioners prescribe medication; however, any medication that is

considered controlled such as narcotics must be prescribed by a physician. Complex or

serious cases are assigned to the physician while more acute or chronic patients are

delegated to nurse practitioners in their respective fields. However, any patient needs

that arise that are out of their scope of practice are to be referred to physicians.

Likewise, regular consultation with the physician is required and encouraged. Nurse

practitioners are liable for all practice done in their care, and are required to obtain

professional liability insurance. Liability to the organization or hospital is present
