In April 2009, twelve Spotlight Organizations were formally and officially designated as BPSOs. They are joining the existing nine designate organizations.
The new designation allows these select facilities to be recognized for their continuous effort to disseminate, implement and evaluate RNAO’s BPGs; thereby building on the productive, collaborative work already completed during their initial three-year contract with RNAO. BPSO designation will be extended annually. This ongoing affiliation allows each BPSO to plan their efforts, to take on new guidelines or to continue to work more deeply with their current selection while ensuring ongoing evaluation of their impact on patient, organizational and system outcomes.
The 2009 designated BPSOs are:
The 2006 designated BPSOs are:
