Twenty five years ago, the American Nurses Credentialing Center [ANCC] established the Magnet Recognition Program® to recognize health care organizations for quality patient care, nursing excellence and innovations in professional nursing practice. This program is now considered the highest mark of excellence a hospital can receive for nursing quality. In fact, within the clinical world, the Magnet Recognition Program is known as the “Nobel Prize of Nursing.”
Just like winning a Nobel Prize isn’t easy, achieving Magnet Recognition isn’t a passive task. The rigors leading up to achieving this designation is what makes it so special—in fact only 8% of hospitals across the United States have currently attained it. And of those hospitals, many have implemented TeleTracking solutions.
