Modernizing Standards and Guidelines: Supporting Safe Care in Changing Environments
Description

Health care delivery is changing rapidly, and nursing practice must adapt to ensure safe, resident-centered care. New and updated standards and guidelines have been introduced to clarify expectations, reflect recent scope of practice changes, and better support nurses in practice. This workshop will explore CNO's recent changes to practice standards and guidelines and their impact on nurses working in long-term care (LTC) and retirement homes in Ontario. Through interactive case studies, participants will see practical application and gain actionable strategies for integrating these changes into everyday practice, supporting safe, ethical, and resident-centered care in an evolving healthcare environment.
