On January 12, the NIH Clinical Center reached its first major milestone in the journey to Magnet® accreditation when it submitted the formal application to the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC). This submission follows two years of extensive preparation.
According to researchers from the University of Michigan and the University of Pennsylvania, Magnet-accredited organizations demonstrate excellence in nursing practice, high-quality patient outcomes and exceed robust benchmarks for the safety of patients. They also value interprofessional teamwork, create an environment of excellence and strive to elevate nursing practice through evidence-based care, professional development and leadership. Magnet recognition affirms the compassion, quality and dedication that an organization offers patients and their families. The quality of these organizations attracts talented and motivated staff, which then perpetuates the organization’s success.
