Best Practice Spotlight Organizations (BPSO)

What is a Best Practice Spotlight Organization?

Best Practice Spotlight Organizations (BPSOs) are health-care and academic organizations selected by the Registered Nurses’ Association of Ontario (RNAO) through a request for proposals process to implement and evaluate the RNAO's best practice guidelines.

It is a dynamic partnership that focuses on making a positive impact on patient care though evidence-based practice. Requests for proposals are released every three years. The Best Practice Spotlight Organization (BPSO) initiative has been a great success. It provides support to organizations that have formally agreed to implement and evaluate multiple RNAO best practice guidelines over a three (3) year period.

First launched in 2003, the BPSO initiative is an off-shoot of the RNAO's Nursing Best Practice Guideline program which began in November 1999 and has since spread across Canada and to countries around the world.

peopleCare

peopleCare carries on the Schlegel-Gingerich family tradition of providing homes where people care. By the late 1960's LeRoy and Ruth Schlegel's neighborliness was well known in Oxford County. Over the years the Schlegel farm near Tavistock, Ontario had seen visitors regularly fill the family home, each enjoying legendary hospitality. In 1968 the Schlegel's began caring for elderly neighbors in a converted school house in Tavistock. The couple's natural consideration for others had become a fitting apprenticeship that would prove instrumental in the founding of peopleCare.
