Abstract
The Regulation extending prescription powers to nurses went into effect on January 11th 2016. This regulation allows nurses to give certain prescriptions for drugs and lab analyses in three domains: wound care, health care and public health. In December of 2016, nearly a year after this regulation came into effect, the number of prescription certifications that had been granted was below the expectations of the OIIQ. We have carried out a research project aiming to evaluate the implementation of nurse prescription. The objective was to identify the factors that were helping or limiting the implementation of nurse prescription in health establishments. The conference will present the results of this project.
