Inside the program: Understand Component II: Structural empowerment
HCPro's Weekly Update on the ANCC Magnet Recognition Program®*, February 24, 2009
Now that the 14 Forces of Magnetism are integrated under one of the new 5 Model Components, there are five Forces that encompass Component II: Structural empowerment:
- Force 2: Organizational structure
- Force 4: Personnel policies and programs
- Force 10: Community and the healthcare organization
- Force 12: Image of nursing
- Force 14: Professional development
Structural empowerment can be described as the structures (e.g., policies, councils, and processes) within an organization that empower nurses to practice in a professional and autonomous manner to achieve the highest degree of clinical excellence and professional fulfillment. Flat, decentralized structures which provide shared decision-making processes are common in ANCC Magnet Recognition Program® environments. With structural empowerment, the organization has a commitment to continual learning and educational and career advancement.
