Who are the LTC best practice coordinators?

The long-term care (LTC) best practice coordinators work with LTC homes to improve care of residents and their families by adopting practices based on RNAO’s clinical and healthy work environment BPG recommendations. Fourteen best practice co-ordinators work with homes within distinct regions across the province. All are able to tap into resources at RNAO, so homes can learn to not only adopt best practices but do so effectively by leveraging strategic leadership, partnerships with provincial programs, and implementation science approaches.

The LTC best practice coordinators:

  • promote the use of evidence-based best practices,
  • collaborate with those in the home to develop plans that can be sustained and spread,
  • teach those who work in the homes how to develop and sustain an evidence-based practice culture, and
  • support homes to integrate evidence-based practice into mandatory quality improvement plans.
