The ANCC describes its Magnet Recognition Program as recognizing healthcare organizations for quality patient care, nursing excellence and innovations in professional nursing practice. To achieve Magnet recognition, organizations go through an extensive review and systematic evaluation of their nursing practices by the ANCC. The process includes the review of documentation and a site visit by ANCC professionals who evaluate the hospital against numerous quantitative and qualitative standards that represent excellence in nursing services, clinical outcomes and patient care delivery.
Magnet-recognized organizations offer significant benefits to patients and consistently demonstrate:
“All Marymount caregivers should take great pride in this honor,” said Barbara Zinner, DNP, RN, NE-BC, Chief Nursing Officer for Marymount Hospital. “This is a true reflection of all our devoted caregivers because nursing cannot be excellent without the help and assistance of every department.”
