Archipel receives official designation as a Best Practice Spotlight Organization from the Registered Nurses' Association of Ontario
On June 20th, members of the Archipel Best Practice Spotlight Organization (BPSO) attended the Registered Nurses' Association of Ontario (RNAO) Annual General Meeting in Toronto to receive the long-awaited official designation.
Thanks to their dedication, Archipel is now an Ontario Health Team that holds Best Practice Spotlight Organization designation! Achieving the RNAO's BPSO designation is the result of the Archipel BPSO Task Force member organizations' quest for excellence and demonstrates their commitment to continuous improvement.
Proud of our partners
We are beyond proud of our partners - Hôpital Montfort, Montfort Renaissance (MRI), Canadian Mental Health Association Ottawa (CMHA-O), and Ottawa Public Health (OPH) - for meeting the requirements of BPSO OHT designation by implementing and evaluating BPSO’s best practice guidelines.
Implementation of four best practice guidelines
The implementation of these best practice guidelines began in 2020 and was completed over the course of four years. As per the agreement the with the RNAO, the group chose four of the RNAO’s Best Practice Guideline to implement:
- Person and Family Centred Care
- Engaging Clients Who Use Substances
- Transitions in Care and Services
- Assessment and Interventions for Perinatal Depression
Present in Toronto for the official ceremony, Dania Versailles, Co-President of the Archipel’s executive committee, shared her immense pride in the accomplishment. “This amazing group of professionals have been working on this project for the past four years and I think this reflects just how critical the advancement of integrated evidence-based and person-centered care is for this OHT.”
