Learning Objective 1: The learner will be able to describe the purpose and intent of the Global Best Practice Guideline (BPG) Network.
Learning Objective 2: The learner understands how social networking principles were used to establish the Global BPG Network, and how this resource can be used to support collaboration.
This presentation will describe the social networking principles on which the Global BPG Network is based, and how these theories are integrated within a web-based networking resource. Early experiences with other web-based networking approaches developed for nurses informed the development of the Global BPG Network, and these key learnings will be highlighted. Discussion will include how the Global BPG Network is being used by individuals and organizations to share exchange knowledge, experiences and ideas related to guideline implementation, evaluation and their impact on health care outcomes.
Participants will gain an appreciation of this unique approach to supporting uptake of evidence-based practice and building capacity through international collaboration and the sharing of implementation experiences within and across borders.
