Magnet recognition is the gold standard for nursing excellence. Research shows Magnet designation provides benefits to health care organizations and the community, including higher patient satisfaction with nurse communication and higher role satisfaction among nurses.<\/p>\n
To achieve designation, organizations must sustain rigorous empirical outcomes. This redesignation process includes submission of clinical and engagement outcomes and summaries of quality improvement work led by nurses that are reviewed and scored by external experts. If written application for survey meets scoring threshold, organizations undergo an on-site visit and final review by the Commission on Magnet Recognition.<\/p>\n
\u201cMagnet recognition raises the bar for patient care and inspires every member of our team to achieve excellence every day,\u201d said Chrissie Hartner, DNP, MBA, RN, NE-BC, HN-BC, Chief Nursing Officer of the Lehigh Valley Region. \u201cIt is this commitment to providing our community with high-quality care that helped us become a Magnet-recognized organization, and it\u2019s why we continue to pursue and maintain Magnet recognition.\u201d<\/p>\n
Jefferson Health has three additional Magnet designations in the system: Thomas Jefferson University Hospitals, Jefferson Health \u2013 New Jersey and Jefferson Einstein Philadelphia Hospital.<\/p>\n
Health care organizations must reapply for Magnet recognition every four years. Recertification is based on adherence to Magnet concepts. Hospitals must demonstrate improvements in patient care and quality. They must also provide documented evidence to demonstrate how staff sustained and improved Magnet concepts, performance and quality over the four-year period since the organization received its most recent recognition.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Magnet recognition is the gold standard for nursing excellence.
