Clínica Internacional Kicks Off Three-Year BPSO Journey with RNAO…

Event summary

Clínica Internacional begins a three-year BPSO pre-designation period with RNAO, starting with a four-day training session in Lima, Peru (Sept. 7–10, 2026).
RNAO CEO Dr. Doris Grinspun and Professor Maribel Esparza from FOSCAL Clinic in Colombia lead the training, focusing on four RNAO best practice guidelines (BPGs).
Clínica Internacional, a leading Peruvian health organization, aims to adopt BPGs in People-Centred Care, Transitions in Care, Vascular Access, and Pressure Injuries.
The BPSO program, launched in 2003, now includes over 1,500 organizations globally, with RNAO's BPG program funded by Ontario's Ministry of Health.

Clínica Internacional's BPSO journey marks a strategic shift toward evidence-based care in Peru's healthcare sector. The partnership with RNAO aligns with global trends in quality improvement and nursing leadership, potentially setting a new standard for patient-centred care in Latin America. With over 1,500 BPSOs worldwide, RNAO's program continues to expand its influence, supported by Ontario's Ministry of Health.
