At a recent Best Practice Guidelines Breakfast For Champions, Dr. Irmajean Bajnok the Registered Nurses Association of Ontario (RNAO) Director of International Affairs and Best Practices Guidelines Programs spoke about her ideas on the “journey to enhance the quality of care”. She used the letters from the word JOURNEY:
J is for the Journey that we have undertaken together to enhance quality of care
O is for the best possible Outcomes that we aim to achieve
U is for Understanding the need for continuous improvement
R is for Reflection on our role and using the best possible Resources to find our way
N is to remind us to Never forget the patient and family in the centre of all we do
E is for Evidence, available through use of the RNAO Best Practice Guidelines
Y is for Yes! Yes we can do this! Yes, we are making a difference!
Here at Chatham-Kent Health Alliance, we are one of only 21 RNAO Best Practice Spotlight Organizations. On this journey to enhance quality of patient care, we must continue to work together as a team to provide evidence-based, high quality and safe care. A healthy workplace includes a combination of the use of best evidence, team-work and collaboration, diversity and professionalism. We must be confident and competent in our own roles within the interprofessional team to do the work ahead.
An exciting professional journey, indeed!
