Spread the word: How to sustain organizationwide support

HCPro's Weekly Update on the ANCC Magnet Recognition Program®*, July 26, 2005

To sustain the organizationwide support you garnered in the early stages of your ANCC Magnet Recognition Program® preparation, keep all departments involved throughout the entire process, and spread the word that everyone is essential to the culture, says Anne Jadwin, RN, MSN, AOCN, CNA, director of nursing at Fox Chase Cancer Center in Philadelphia. Provide designation updates during all medical staff and ancillary department meetings. Publicly recognize project examples that you use in the application either through verbal acknowledgement during hospitalwide meetings or on bulletin boards depicting projects. This acknowledgement will reinforce the critical role that nonnursing departments play in creating the culture.
