Minimum Nurse-to-Patient Ratios (mNPR) set the minimum number of nurses required to safely care for patients on a given unit. Developed in partnership with the Ministry of Health, the BC Nurses’ Union (BCNU), and health organizations across British Columbia, mNPR provides a consistent and transparent approach to staffing that supports safe nursing practice and high quality patient care. At Providence Health Care (PHC), our approach to implementing mNPR reflects our commitment to person centred, socially just, compassionate care and our dedication to Indigenous cultural safety.
Guided by our mission and values – Spirituality, Integrity, Stewardship, Trust, Excellence, and Respect – PHC is working collaboratively across all departments to ensure mNPR is thoughtfully adapted to the unique needs of each clinical program and specialty area. This tailored, values driven implementation aligns with our commitment to compassionate, innovative, and patient centred care and positions PHC to meet the evolving health needs of our patients, residents, families, and communities.
