To kickoff National Nursing Week (May 6 – 12, 2024), the Registered Nurses‘ Association of Ontario (RNAO) will release its highly anticipated best practice guideline (BPG) titled Clinical Practice in a Digital Health Environment.
A 20-member expert panel came together to determine the purpose and scope of the BPG, and to develop questions that would inform the systematic reviews. This interprofessional panel brought people with lived experience together with practitioners, educators and researchers from a range of health and social service organizations, academic institutions, practice areas, and sectors. Co-chaired by the late Dr. Vanessa Burkoski, then chief nursing executive and chief of people strategy at Humber River Health who had first identified the need for such a guideline, and by Maureen Charlebois, Bayshore HealthCare’s chief nursing and clinical officer, the panel developed recommendations based on their insights caring for persons and their families when working in digital health environments.
