      abstract = {The purpose of this DNP quality improvement project was to  facilitate the development of the role of the psychiatric  mental health nurse practitioner (PMHNP ) within a rural  primary health care system. A full time PMHNP had been  hired by the Center for Human Development (CHD) and Greater  Oregon Behavioral Health (GOBHI) to provide mental health  services to adults at three primary care clinics managed by  the local hospital including the Regional Medical Clinic in  La Grande and two rural health clinics in Union County  which has a total population of 25,700 (Union County  Census, 2015). The expectations of the role and how it  would be implemented was not fully developed and there was  a request by administration for assistance. The project was  in part directed by administrative staff at the primary  care clinics and the community mental health setting. It  was identified by these groups that there was a limitation  in psychiatric provider time and there was often lack of  coordination between providers in community mental health  and primary care that ultimately has affected the  availability and quality of care.},
