Best Practice Spotlight Organization
BPSO OHT partners directly with the Registered Nurses Association of Ontario (RNAO) to implement best practice guidelines (BPG) in order to better respond to health system transformation in Ontario. There are 13 organizations in Chatham-Kent that have partnered to work through the BPSO OHT journey together.
OHTs collaborate to implement four RNAO Best Practice Guidelines over a four-year period to gain BPSO designation. CKOHT received its BPSO OHT designation in June 2025.
