My Transitional Care Plan during the Covid-19 Pandemic

The BSO Provincial Coordinating Office, Behavioural Supports Integrated Teams (BSIT) Collaborative and brainXchange are pleased to announce the release of ‘My Transitional Care Plan during the Covid-19 Pandemic’.  This resource is intended to be a practical clinical tool to support transitions during the pandemic. It highlights key Covid-19 considerations while also helping to communicate other personal needs, preferences and individualized strategies to optimize seamless care transitions for older adults presenting with, or at risk of, responsive behaviours/personal expressions during the pandemic. This care plan is intended to be used by Behavioural Supports Ontario (BSO) Clinicians/Team Members and other aligned team members that support transitions.
 
The release of the tool is accompanied by Guidelines for Use as well as a completed example. We encourage all users to review the Guidelines for Use before using the tool. You can learn more about the BSIT Collaborative and download ‘My Transitional Care Plan during the Covid-19 Pandemic’ along with supporting resources by clicking here (see link under ‘Now Featuring’).

Person-Centred Language eCourse

The Behavioural Supports Ontario Provincial Coordinating Office and Ontario Centres for Learning Research & Innovation in Long-Term Care have collaborated with McMaster University/machealth/iGeriCare to develop a free and interactive 45 minute e-learning course to equip teams with practical knowledge of person-centred language. The course is available in two streams. One is designed for team members and the other for team leaders/managers.
