Panel Management Support Program News Today

A new program will support nurse practitioners to work independently and provide Albertans with more access to primary care clinics.

Alberta hopes incentivizing nurse practitioners in the province with a new pay model will help support the residents without a family doctor.

The funding provided is based on the number of patients on a physician's panel. The minimum number of continual patients required to receive payments is 500.
