RNAO-BPG Transitions in Care and Services 2nd edition
The purpose of the Transitions in Care and Services guideline is to provide evidence-based recommendations for nurses and members of the interprofessional team, organizations and the health system to support safe and effective transitions in care for pediatric (17 years and younger) and adult (18 years and older) persons and their support network. This BPG recognizes that persons and their support network who are encountering a transition in care are experts in their health and decision-making. Collaboration among the interprofessional team, the person receiving care and their support network is therefore essential to achieving improved health outcomes.
This BPG replaces the RNAO BPG Care Transitions published in 2014 (5).
