What is Magnet Excellence?

This earned recognition is the gold standard of healthcare delivery, coveted by all but achieved by few.

Only about 8% of all American hospitals earn the Magnet designation each year.

These hospitals have achieved the highest level of clinical quality and nursing excellence. , “Magnet Recognition from the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC) is the highest and most prestigious distinction a healthcare organization can receive for nursing excellence and high-quality patient care.” Magnet designation allows hospitals to:

Promote a culture of quality in their professional clinical practice
Identify and reward excellence in nursing service delivery to patients
Create and disseminate nursing best practices across the care delivery continuum

What Does Magnet excellence Provide?

Hospitals achieving the Magnet recognition have higher nurse satisfaction, lower turnover, better healthcare outcomes and improved satisfaction scores for their patients. Nursing World lists some of the startling facts about hospitals achieving Magnet status:

These facilities comprise the top echelon in healthcare, with only 378 of the more than 6,000 healthcare organizations ever receiving the recognition
These organizations have a lower risk of 30-day mortality for their patients
The average length of employment for nurses in these facilities is 9.8 years
Nine out of 10 of the best hospitals in the U.S. are Magnet-recognized

Magnet Recognition stems from a rigorous multi-year process achieved through stringent standards set by the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC), part of the American Nurses Association. Magnet Recognition is not a reward; it is a rigorous series of steps necessary to earn the designation. On average, it takes healthcare organizations more than four years to achieve their Magnet designation.

Achieving Magnet Excellence: How to Become Magnet Certified

“While the benefits of Magnet speak for themselves, the journey to Magnet Excellence requires real dedication. By continually evaluating its strengths, weaknesses, and performance in relation to the magnet mode organizations are empowered to make the right change. The result is an environment which inspires nurses to work together, to advance health care for all.” – Nursing World

According to the ANCC, the benefits of Magnet Recognition are:

Offering the highest standards of patient care
Business growth and financial success
A staff that feels motivated and valued

To achieve these benefits, healthcare organizations must embark upon an intense journey. This takes constant benchmarking and the spirit of continuous learning to achieve the goal. Hospitals seeking Magnet certification must achieve standards of excellence in 35 areas correlated to the quality of care they provide. Once Magnet Recognition is achieved, hospitals must continue to work hard to maintain these standards of excellence in clinical practice.

The Magnet certification process is lengthy and requires extensive documentation. Candidates must produce quantitative and qualitative evidence demonstrating quality of care and clinical outcomes. This documentation is crucial to moving forward in the process and is often where clinical organizations fall short. If they meet the stringent standards and score highly, an on-site visit will occur. After a rigorous on-site review, the Commission on Magnet will review the application thoroughly to determine if the organization can be awarded Magnet Recognition.
