As clinical experts, leaders and change agents, advanced practice nurses (APN) are recognized as an important human resource strategy for improving access to high-quality, cost-effective and sustainable models of healthcare. This report aims to develop a better understanding of the roles of APNs, the contexts in which they are currently being used, and the health system factors that influence the effective integration of advanced practice nursing in the Canadian healthcare system.
