Being Good Isn't Good Enough - You Need to Be Magnet
The Magnet Recognition Program® was developed by the ANCC to recgonize healthcare organizations that provide the very best in nursing care. When U.S. News & World Report publishes its annual showcase of "America's Best Hospitals," being a Magnet facility contributes to the total score for quality of inpatient care. In the 2009 listing, 15 of the top 21 (71%) medical centers featured in the prestigious Honor Roll are Magnet-recognized organizations. In the Children's Hospital Honor Roll, 9 of the top 10 (90%) hospitals are ANCC Magnet recognized. (July 20, 2009).
Learn What It Takes to Become Magnet!
The Magnet Recognition Program® application process involves a rigorous review and analysis of a healthcare organization's commitment to implementing the Forces of Magnetism, the key evaluation criteria. A team of professionals with expertise in evaluating nursing care and administration appraises the quality of a hospital's services for patient care delivery. The appraisers review detailed documentation from applicant organizations and conduct extensive interviews to assess the management philosophy, the advocacy practice of the nursing leadership, and the caliber of nursing care offered to the community.
