CUSTOMIZED SOLUTIONS FOR INITIAL & REDESIGNATION JOURNEYS

Why is Magnet® Designation so valuable?

Being a Magnet® hospital means you’ve established a Culture of Continuous Improvement that can be seen in RN Engagement, Patient Satisfaction, Patient Outcomes, Operational Performance, and Financial Performance.

Why Pursue a Nursing Excellence Jounrey? And How Does HealthLinx Help Achieve Designation?

The Process for Our Customized Magnet Solutions:

Here is a typical process that we customize to your needs when you partner with HealthLinx, regardless if you are yet to begin your Initial Journey, are midway through, or it’s your fifth-time Redesignating.

Inform, Assess and Plan

The Summit

A complimentary planning meeting that serves to not only inform and educate riskholders about Magnet requirements, but also to promote alignment and generate excitement for the real, positive results your hospital could, or has seen from your journey.

Assessment

A doctorally- or masters-prepared Nurse Executive Magnet® Expert will perform an assessment of nursing-wide performance to the Magnet standard and quantify nursing-wide and departmental areas of opportunity.

Key nursing leaders will engage in discovery sessions prior to this customized, on-site two-day Assessment.

This all goes beyond a gap analysis to establish a baseline for data, policy and process and is used to create your project plan for guaranteed successful designation or redesignation.
