The Nurse Led Outreach Team (NLOT) consists of specialized Nurse Practitioners (NPs) that work in partnership with hospital emergency departments (ED) and Long Term Care homes (LTC). The NPs provide assessment, consultation and health education for the LTC team and families. The goal is to optimize health outcomes of seniors in LTC homes and reduce the likelihood of transfers to the ED. NLOTs work with hospital flow managers and Geriatric Emergency Management nurses to facilitate efficient repatriation of LTC home residents for whom an ED transport proves essential.
