Ask the expert: Writing the documentation: Include nonnursing departments
HCPro's Weekly Update on the ANCC Magnet Recognition Program®*, April 22, 2008
This week, a reader asks if it’s important to include nonnursing departments in the written documentation phase of the ANCC Magnet Recognition Program®. Read the response below from our advisor, Elise Gropper, PhD, APRN,BC, CPHQ, president of Gropper & Associates, Inc., Coral Springs, FL.
Q: Is it important to include nonnursing departments in the written documentation phase of the ANCC Magnet Recognition Program®?
A: Remember, ANCC Magnet Recognition® is not only a nursing award—it’s an organizational achievement—so include everyone in the written documentation process. Ask employees organizationwide to engage in the process by contributing their support and assistance.
Institutions that succeed in achieving designation do so with the involvement of all departments and disciplines. Likewise, when they celebrate their excellence, it becomes a celebration for all.
