Dear Nursing Students of Ontario,
Are you interested in learning more about best practice guideline development and evidence-based practice? Do you have experience working with digital health technologies in your clinical placement, or are you interested in understanding how digital health technologies can optimize nursing clinical practice?
The Registered Nurses’ Association of Ontario (RNAO) is looking to recruit a nursing student to join the expert panel for a new Best Practice Guideline (BPG): Clinical Practice in a Digital Health Environment (working title). The purpose of this BPG is to provide evidence-based recommendations for nurses, organizations and health systems to foster nurses’ ability to maintain, advance and strengthen professional practice in the context of a digital health environment.
The expert panel plays a key role in helping RNAO develop rigorous and robust BPGs that support evidence-based practice and the provision of high-quality care. If selected to be part of the expert panel, you will work alongside nurses, members of the interprofessional team and persons with lived experience to shape the purpose, scope and content of the BPG. The expert panel will carry out this work over the estimated timeframe of approximately 18 months.
If this opportunity is of interest to you, we invite you to submit an application online by April 6th. Additional details regarding the role and responsibilities of the expert panel, and steps to submitting an application can be found here: https://myrnao.ca/survey/expert-panel
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Glynis Gittens, the Project Coordinator for this BPG, at ggittens@rnao.ca.
Thank you in advance for considering this opportunity. Your input on this topic would be incredibly valuable and we look forward to reviewing applications.
Sincerely,
The RNAO BPG team
