Fairmount Home earns RNAO BPSO pre-designation
Fairmount Home has been selected by the Registered Nurses Association of Ontario (RNAO) as a long-term care Best Practice Spotlight Organization (BPSO) pre-designate.
Fairmount Nursing professionals Rebecca McEwen, Emily Shoniker, Tammy McConnel, and Anna Campbell represent Fairmount’s BPSO steering committee and are attending a BPSO orientation and launch event in Toronto, April 24.
The hard work and dedication that goes into achieving BPSO designation for Fairmount is one more important example of the people who work with Fairmount consistently exceeding the professional standards for resident care and administration in long-term care.
Simply put, it’s all about providing the best possible care for Fairmount residents and their families and building upon Fairmount's sterling reputation for excellence and leadership among long-term care professionals.
More technically, BPSO designation is a longstanding knowledge translation strategy that helps optimize health outcomes at the individual, organizational and health system levels. This program gives health service and academic organizations the opportunity to formally partner with RNAO – or an approved "Host" organization – to achieve “designation” as a BPSO. The BPSO designation can then be renewed every two years after meeting specific deliverables.
This internationally-renowned program’s strategic approach has been proven to trigger evidence-based cultures, improve patient experience and health outcomes, lower cost of care by preventing complications, and enrich staff satisfaction. The overarching aim of the partnership between Fairmount Home and RNAO is to support evidence-based health interventions to better support patients and families.
