Our expert consultants have over 40 years of experience in Magnet® designation and re-designation. We work with large academic medical systems, small community hospitals, specialty providers including pediatrics, orthopedic, women, and cancer centers, as well as international organizations.
Many health care leaders seek national recognition, not as an end it itself, but as a journey to excellence and as a validation of the great work an organization is doing. When an organization pursues Magnet® designation, teams throughout the organization will create, strengthen, and deepen structures and processes to meet the standards for extraordinary performance.
Recruitment and retention of a strong nursing and clinical workforce continue to be a top strategic priority for health care leaders. One of the most valued recognitions of distinction, when it comes to recruitment and retention of nursing is Magnet® designation. Just under 10% of hospitals in the United States have achieved Magnet®. Significantly, many hospitals see this designation as a key to their future success and survival.
