Mission Hospital Journey to Magnet®
On September 29, 2017, Mission Hospital began its journey to becoming a Magnet®-designated hospital, and October 1, we became one step closer with the push of a button. The Magnet Recognition Program® recognizes healthcare organizations for quality patient care, nursing excellence and innovations in professional nursing practice. Developed by the American Nurses Certification Center (ANCC), the Magnet® framework is the leading source of successful nursing practices and strategies worldwide.
The ANCC provides Magnet® designation to recognize nursing excellence in three areas: Clinical Expertise and Outcomes, Workplace Environment, and Patient Experience. The Magnet®-designated hospital demonstrates a high degree of regard for registered nurses at all levels and in all roles in partnership with the interprofessional team.
About the Magnet Recognition Program®
The Magnet Recognition Program® advances three goals within healthcare organizations:
Promote safety and quality in a setting that supports the professional practice of nursing- Identify excellence in the delivery of nursing services to patients/families through interprofessional collaboration
- Create a practice environment that supports professional development
Based on the research conducted in the early 1990s the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC) established the Magnet Recognition Program®. It recognizes healthcare organizations’ efforts at recruitment and retention of registered nurses. As a result an environment is created where the professional practice of nursing is valued and celebrated. The program also seeks to provide a vehicle for disseminating successful nursing practices and strategies.
