Request for Proposal: TNI Implementation Site Application 2016-2017

The Registered Nurses’ Association of Ontario (RNAO) is requesting applications from interested and eligible health care organizations to become Tobacco and Nicotine Intervention (TNI) Implementation Sites. A letter of intent to apply is due on Nov 30th, 2016. Applications must be received by the RNAO before 4:00 pm EDT on Dec 16th, 2016. RNAO’s TNI Initiative builds on RNAO’s expertise in developing and supporting uptake of clinical best practice guidelines, a program launched in 1999 that has gained wide international adoption. The RNAO TNI Best Practice Initiative has been funded by the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care since 2007. The purpose of the initiative is to build capacity among nurses and other health care professionals in Ontario to integrate TNI best practices into daily practice. The initiative’s multi-prong system approach recognizes the importance of the leadership role of health organizations, nurses and TNI Champions in supporting individuals and organizations to integrate TNI best practices at the individual, organizational and system levels.
