Current data collection practices in Canada's #digitalhealth systems largely misrepresent or underrepresent diversity across individuals' socio-demographic factors. This can lead to health inequalities and patients feeling unsafe when receiving care. #Interoperability is the only path to accessing comprehensive data about a person that addresses the full spectrum of health information needs for Canadians and their families, clinicians and care teams, health organizations, researchers and health system decision makers.

In this quantitative cross-sectional study, an alarming level (80.9%) of #nursepractitioners reported high to moderate levels of #burnout (emotional exhaustion), on average, minimal job satisfaction and high levels of resilience. Hospital leaders play a major role in NP role optimization, NP recruitment and retention and quality of work–life issues.

Culturally appropriate care requires a nurse to have cultural competence, #culturalsafety and cultural humility skills and provide #antiracist and anti-oppressive care. Terri Belcourt et al illustrate #leadership strategies that advocate for and nurture a practice where nursing staff are supported to apply their culturally appropriate skills in practice.

Comprehensive #healthdata #interoperability is recognized as an essential element of high-functioning and accountable health service.  Ewan Affleck, Eric Sutherland, Teri Price et al propose a health data interoperability framework articulating the factors that Canada needs to address to optimize health data design to support quality health programs and services.

#Nurses make up the largest group of regulated #healthcareprofessionals in this country and it is important for their perspective to be top of mind for policy and decision makers in Canada; the health of our population depends on it. CNO Leigh Chapman discusses the “Nursing Retention Toolkit: Improving the Working Lives of Nurses in Canada,” which provides a framework that can be utilized by employers and organizations to enhance the working conditions of nurses. #cdnhealth Canadian Nurses Association https://lnkd.in/dynmG2G8

The health system produces #inequities in access for #rural, remote and #Indigenous citizens and the providers who support them. #Geographicisolation creates complex challenges with provider availability and access, in addition to transportation to higher levels of care. This can result in delayed care, longer #waittimes and added costs for patients. Relationships and trust between patients and providers are essential enabling factors for quality care provision; however, many rural and remote communities have a revolving door of providers.

Sustaining the Canadian Nurses Association as the national and global voice of professional #nursing in Canada needs decisive support from the nurses of Canada.

Nurses are there amid the anger, uncertainty, weariness and fear – providing care around the clock.” Ruth Martin-Misener https://lnkd.in/ghqDga6F
