About Best Practice Coordinators (BP Coordinators in LTC)

The Regional BP Coordinator in LTC role was introduced into the long-term care sector approximately two and a half years ago.It is funded by the Nursing Secretariat with the goal of providing a regional best practice resources for LTC homes and to introduce homes to evidence-based practice and best practices.

There are eight BP Coordinators across Ontario helping LTC nurses and staff use current health care knowledge and research to improve the quality of the daily care provided to residents and families.

The Coordinators have developed a multitude of resources for LTC homes seeking to implement best practices into their day-to-day care, including everything from quick reference tools, assessments, care plans, policies, procedures, education slides and resource kits for a number of care issues (e.g., pain, falls, incontinence, resident-centred care, acute change of condition).

Coordinators focus on sharing knowledge through on-site visits, consultations, education, presentations, workshops, work groups and newsletters. They will help locate the necessary resources homes need. Coordinators also collaborate and synchronize with the many initiatives, networks and organizations that interface with LTC.
