Introducting mNPR across B.C.
In April 2023, The Ministry of Health (MoH) and Nurses’ Bargaining Association (NBA) signed a memorandum of understanding to adopt minimum Nurse-to-Patient Ratios (mNPR) across British Columbia (B.C.), a first in Canada.
Interior Health (IH), alongside other health authorities, is actively implementing mNPR across the province as a transformative staffing solution that aims to improve the working environment of health-care providers and quality of patient care.
