Social Movement Action Framework

To support the effective implementation of BPGs, Best Practice Spotlight Organizations® (BPSOs®) create change teams that operate as core leadership structures to support evidence uptake and sustainability. Their roles in the core leadership structure can include:

  • selecting recommendations
  • developing an action plan
  • mobilizing implementation strategies
  • supporting adherence to a practice change
  • engaging in monitoring and evaluation activities
  • taking active steps to support sustainability

As champions, one role of BPSOs is to compare their current practice to the guideline recommendations to see how the current practice can be maintained, strengthened or changed. Taking a “can do” attitude, they actively collaborate with their peers throughout the change process, and value and welcome their input and ideas. They take on leadership roles to support evidence-based practice change in collaboration with nurses, other staff and others (Bajnok et al., 2018a).
