Abstract

Key initiatives jointly developed by the Government of Alberta and Alberta Health Services include improving cardiac health of Albertans, reducing stay in Emergency Departments for discharged patients, and providing a patient-focused health system that is accessible and sustainable for all Albertans. This is partly achieved by establishing clinical pathways to assist patient movement towards best possible outcomes, as well as expanding the scope of practice of Nurse Practitioners (NP).The Chest Pain Program Clinic (CPPC) was established in 2012, as a NP led outpatient clinic at the Mazankowski Alberta Heart Institute, Edmonton, Alberta, within a collaborative practice model.
