  2. Jefferson is on a Magnet™ Journey to Nursing Excellence

  3. Who is the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC)? • A subsidiary of the American Nurses Association (ANA) • Offers certifications in 26 specialties • Certified over a quarter-million nurses since 1990 including 75,000 advanced practice nurses • Administers the Magnet Recognition Program™

  4. What is Magnet™ Status? • Highest level of recognition awarded to hospitals by the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC) • Recognizes quality patient care, nursing excellence, and innovations in professional nursing practice. • Provides a vehicle for disseminating successful nursing strategies and practices. • Less than 5% of US hospitals have earned this designation • Focus is now on OUTCOMES of a Magnet environment

  5. Force 1 – Transformational Leadership 3 Sources of Evidence (SOE): • Strategic planning-Nursing-sensitive • Advocacy and influence-organizational support for leadership development and reward for innovation • Visibility, accessibility, and communication of nurse leaders by direct care nurses “

  6. Force 2- Exemplary Professional Practice 9 Sources of Evidence (SOE): • Professional practice model (how nurses apply it) • Care delivery systems (and how they are used to improve care) • Staffing, scheduling, and budgeting processes (direct care nurses’ involvement) • Accountability, competence, and autonomy (and how they are supported) • Ethics, privacy, security, and confidentiality (and how nurses resolve issues related to these) • Diversity and workplace advocacy (resources RNs can use) • Culture of safety (benchmarking and use of nurse-sensitive quality indicators) • Quality care monitoring and improvement (how data are provided to nurses) • Interdisciplinary care (e.g. how interdisciplinary collaboration improves care)

  7. Force 3: New Knowledge, Innovations, & Improvements 3 Sources of Evidence (SOE): • Research (how direct care RNs incorporate published lit into practice) • EBP (and how this affects patient outcomes) • Innovation (how nursing practice is improved due to RN use of technology)

  8. Force 4: Structural Empowerment 5 Sources of Evidence (SOE): • Professional engagement-change in nursing practice because of nurse involvement • Commitment to professional development (certification, career development) • Teaching and role development (nursing support of community activities) • Commitment to community involvement (this refers to nursing school involvement and service to the community) • Recognition of nurses (by the organization)

  9. What Does It Mean to Be Magnet at TJUH? By focusing on the 5 Magnet components we sustain an environment that embraces nursing education, welcomes change, and focuses on using research and evidence-based practice. One which values collaboration and strives for exemplary patient outcomes. Most of all, we work in an environment of nursing excellence!

  10. Magnet Re-designation Activities • Annual submission of nursing demographic data • Identifies all nurses in organization and their education, certification, continuing education activities • Every 4 years re-application occurs • Written validation of activities demonstrating culture of Magnetism • Followed by a site visit • Appraisers determine the degree to which the Forces of Magnetism are in place throughout the organization • Appraisers will speak directly to nurses, physicians and other hospital staff and may speak to patients as well

  11. How Can YOU Help Sustain a Magnet Culture? • Working in a Magnet environment is a commitment to shared excellence in nursing; we all must be actively involved in creating and maintaining this culture • You can help in many ways. Here are a few ideas: • Maintain or achieve certification • Go back to school • Participate in a unit-based or hospital-based committee • Conduct/assist with research projects • Mentor nursing students • The list is endless!

  12. Thank you for supporting Jefferson’s Department of Nursing in achieving re-designation as aMagnet™ Hospital.
