The ANCC, a subsidiary of the American Nurses Association, developed the Magnet Recognition Program in 1992 to recognize hospitals that provide the best in nursing care and a supportive professional nursing environment. The program is designed to provide customers with a benchmark for measuring quality of care.Magnet hospitals must meet stringent quantitative and qualitative standards that define the quality of nursing practices and patient care. The application process includes comprehensive written documentation, which is validated by site visits.
Magnet status assists in the recruitment of quality nurses, physicians and other health care disciplines. Additionally, patients and families recognize that Magnet facilities provide an exceptional level of quality care.
网红黑料 Shands Hospital will be honored for its achievement at the ANCC National Magnet Conference in October 2014 in Dallas.
