Preparing a site-visit checklist
HCPro's Weekly Update on the ANCC Magnet Recognition Program®*, March 4, 2008
Don't hinder your chances for achieving ANCC Magnet Recognition Program® (MRP) designation by not preparing your staff for the site visit. Take these following tips into consideration as you prepare for a successful MRP site visit:
- Complete and update employee files
- Update annual performance evaluations either with goals or developmental plans
- Give staff educational tools to prepare them for questions the appraisers may ask
- Update and provide access to staff-meeting and unit-council meeting minutes, and communication books/bulletin boards
- Make patient satisfaction information and unit report cards accessible to staff
- Post upcoming educational opportunities
- Update plaques that recognize RN certification
