HCPro's Weekly Update on the ANCC Magnet Recognition Program®*, June 14, 2005
Starting out on your the ANCC Magnet Recognition Program® journey? Share this background information about the program to convey the program's meaning to staff.
In 1993, the American Nurses Credentialing Center, a division of the American Nurses Association, developed the Magnet Recognition Program as a means of recognizing nursing excellence within a healthcare organization. Designation is a prestigious and coveted international award given to organizations that demonstrate the Forces of Magnetism in an innovative and dynamic way. In designated hospitals,
- nurses are empowered and accountable for their practice
- patients have better outcomes and are more satisfied
- professional advancement is encouraged and rewarded
- there is greater staff involvement in decision-making
