RNAO Position Statement: Strengthening Client Centred Care in Long Term Care - 2010

Fri, 06/25/2010 - 00:00 -- nhalper

RNAO strongly supports the development of Long Term Care Homes (LTCHs) utilizing a resident/client-centred care model, where Ontarians have access to continuity of care and continuity of caregiver from a primary nurse. RNAO also strongly endorses strengthening inter-professional care so all health disciplines work closely to support high quality care in all health care settings. Regardless if a home is not-for-profit or for-profit, adhering to the appropriate nursing care delivery model and skill-mix, is paramount to optimize resident, staff and organizational outcomes.
